Discussion
- weight length relationship: Ww in g = 0.00813 * (TL in cm)^3.13
Facts
- once found in the Colorado RLver basin in many U.S. states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming (Ref: Wiki)
- habitat: backwaters with rocky or muddy bottoms and flowing pools, (Ref: Wiki)
- the optimum temperature for reproduction is believed to be 20-21 deg C (Ref: Hamm1982b)
