Range and Identity
Gila ditaenia is recorded from the Sycamore Canyon area of Arizona and the Rio de la Concepcion system in Sonora. These locations define a more specific range than all desert rivers of the Southwest. A nearby spring in another drainage needs its own occurrence evidence.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit rocky and sandy pools in creeks and springs. Some channels become intermittent in the dry season, leaving a changing pattern of water rather than a continuously flowing stream. The season and actual pool location are therefore useful parts of a record.
Food and Life History
The upper length reference is twenty-five centimeters total length. An independent maximum mass, detailed diet and regular migration route are not established in the checked account. Seasonal channel contraction does not by itself demonstrate a particular long-distance movement.
Field Note
Record the month and whether the channel is continuous or reduced to pools. Those details help interpret habitat observations from a fish living in seasonally variable border-region waters.
