General DescriptionThe plains killifish has probably been introduced into Montana's eastern drainage. This fish has an unusual appearance for a Montana fish because it bears vertical stripes. It typically inhabits small, low-gradient streams and spawns in the spring by broadcasting its eggs. More

chub (Couesius plumbeus) and plains killifish were captured exclusively in treatment streams. However, all of these species were found infrequently. Most species were observed during fewer than 20 percent of the 68 sampling events; however, 5 native species were more ubiquitous. More
