Overview

Family : Mudminnows ; Usually found in heavily vegetated swamps and ponds ; occasionally in medium to large rivers and lakes with abundant vegetation[1]. Migrations appear to be limited to inshore or upstream movements to spawning grounds in the spring and (presumably) reverse migrations to deeper water in the fall [2]. Oviparous , batch spawner [3]. Known for their tolerance to cold water : survives exposures to -20¦C for up to 40 minutes, and can survive for a few days after complete freezing of parts of the body, even the head [4][5]. Uses its esophagus as auxiliary breathing organ[6].
