Inhabits clear, flowing streams with gravel or boulder bottoms in mountainous terrain above the winter snowline. Usually prefers gently flowing pools adjacent to faster flowing sections. A solitary species, sometimes groups of up to five individuals are seen. Feeds on benthic and drifting invertebrates (Ref. 44894). Spawns from late winter to early spring.
