FBname: Rocky kurper
Comments: Found in rocky streams, favoring marginal habitats where the current is slow.  Preys on insects, crabs and small fish.  Is preyed upon by introduced predators such as bass and sharptooth catfish.  Breeds in summer.  Males guard the eggs and larvae which are found on the substrate (Ref. 41595).  Upon hatching, larvae adhered permanently to the substrate at the nesting site (Ref. 41595).
