Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in rocky riffles and rapids (Ref. 52193). It feeds on insects such as mayfly nymphs and blackfly larvae grazed from rocks (Ref. 52193). Its spines protect it from predators such as trout (Ref. 52193). Breeds during the summer (Ref. 7248, 52193). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Is an occasional aquarium species (Ref. 7248).
