The Weed Shiner

Range and Identity

The inventory uses Notropis texanus and the checked account uses Alburnops texanus. Its broad North American treatment includes Great Lakes, Red River, Mississippi and Gulf drainage records. A regional name alone should not replace an exact locality or imply presence in every intervening tributary.

Habitat and Behavior

Adults use clear sandy pools and runs, with vegetation especially noted farther north. This geographic qualification matters: a plant association in one area is not proof of an identical habitat requirement across the whole distribution. Record the actual bottom and cover where the fish was observed.

Food and Life History

The upper reference is 8.6 centimeters total length, with 4.4 centimeters as common. Algae and detritus are reported foods. Small invertebrates described only as expected in the source are not turned into a verified, detailed prey list, and no modeled maximum weight is supplied.
