Range and Identity
Notropis leuciodus is recorded from the Green, Cumberland and Tennessee systems, with additional upper Savannah and New River records. These occur across portions of several states. The named drainages are more informative than treating an entire state as uniformly occupied by the species.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults live in rocky pools and runs of creeks and small to medium rivers. The account includes both pool and run positions, so one channel label should not replace the other. A precise observation retains the local bottom and water movement.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is 8.2 centimeters total length. The checked summary does not establish an independently supported maximum weight, detailed feeding list or reproductive sequence. Those facts are not supplied from another shiner simply because it inhabits a nearby stream.
Field Note
Keep the tributary and a clear body photograph with a record. Small shiners can be difficult to distinguish, and a regional common name is not enough to establish a species identity.
