Range and Identity
Etheostoma lachneri is the retained inventory identity. The checked account provides an Alabama distribution but little locality detail. The common name should not be used to assign every fish or observation in the wider Tombigbee region to this exact species.
Habitat and Behavior
The summary identifies a freshwater fish but does not establish a detailed substrate, current preference or feeding list. Those features cannot be borrowed from another darter merely because it inhabits the same state or belongs to the same general group.
Food and Life History
A 3.5-centimeter standard-length value comes from specimen-based reference material. It excludes the caudal fin and is not treated as a demonstrated global maximum. The available evidence does not supply an independent maximum weight or a complete reproductive account.
Field Note
Keep the specimen identifier, original determination and exact stream when available. These details preserve useful evidence without turning one measured fish into a biological limit for the species.
