Range and Identity
Luxilus albeolus is retained as the scientific identity. The checked account includes Atlantic drainages from the Chowan toward the Cape Fear and the upper New system. These separate watershed records should not be expanded into a claim of continuous occupation across every intervening river.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults occur in rocky pools near riffles in clear water. A pool in this setting can lie beside strong current without being the riffle itself. Retaining the actual occupied position helps preserve that distinction when describing a stream observation.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is thirteen centimeters total length. The available summary does not establish an independent maximum weight or detailed feeding list. Nest-spawning behavior inferred only from a related fish is not presented as a confirmed reproductive observation for this species.
Field Note
Keep drainage and scientific identification together with a photograph. A broadly descriptive shiner name is insufficient to assign another species' size, range or spawning habits to an individual record.
