Range and Identity
The retained name Notropis candidus corresponds to Alburnops candidus in the checked modern treatment. The range includes the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers and the lower portions of their major tributaries. A change in genus name does not create a second fish profile or a separate population.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit sand-and-gravel runs in medium to large rivers. This describes a flowing channel setting rather than a general preference for every quiet pond or small headwater within the basin. River size and substrate together help characterize a collection locality.
Food and Life History
The reported maximum is eleven centimeters total length, with six centimeters as a common reference. A maximum age of two years appears in the compiled account. An independent maximum weight and detailed migration sequence are not established by those data.
Field Note
Keep the original identification and the modern name together when comparing records. That makes older surveys searchable without treating a nomenclature update as a new species occurrence.
