Phenology Comments: | |
Reproduction Comments: | Apparently 10-17 eggs constitute a spawning; eggs are laid and fertilized one at a time. Incubation lasts 5-7 days. This subspecies occupies the coolest headwater spring and outflow/springbrook habitats of any of the White River springfish. |

Habitat Comments: | Preston White River springfish inhabit vegetated warm springs and their outflows and marshes (Minckley et al. 1991). |
Ecology comments: | The Preston White River springfish is able to survive extremes in temperature and dissolved oxygen. Temperature and minimum oxygen values vary considerably among spring habitats. Preston Big Spring has been measured at 21°C (69.8°F) and 3.3 ppm oxygen. It spawns in warm summer months. Apparently 10-17 eggs constitute a spawning and eggs are laid and fertilized one at a time. Incubation lasts 5-7 days. This subspecies occupies the coolest headwater spring and outflow/springbrook habitats of any of the White River springfish. |
