Longnose dace

The Longnose dace lives in the demersal, freshwater, pH range: 7.0, dH range: 10 - 15 environment.

The longnose dace is found in muddy and warm, clear and cold, streams and lakes. The largest longnose dace are about 6 inches long. They are well-adapted for living on the bottom of fast-flowing streams among the stones. Longnose dace eat mostly immature aquatic insects. More

history of lacustrine longnose dace is basically the same as that of riverine populations. Some observations on habitat use by fluvial longnose dace are available for B.C. More

The longnose dace is confined almost exclusively to the Eastern Broadleaf Aquatic Subregion in the northeast corner of the state. More
