Nightfish

Potamodromous. Migrating within streams, migratory in rivers, e.g. Saliminus, Moxostoma, Labeo. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.

Occur in coastal streams, lakes and ponds. Inhabit clear or darkly tannin-stained water of rivers, streams, swamps and lakes, usually near the cover of rocks, aquatic plants or woody debris (Ref. 44894). Cryptic during the day under stones or among vegetation, but actively feeding at night on various crustaceans, small fishes, aquatic insects and gastropods (Ref. 44894).
