FBname: Acheloos roach
Comments: Adapted to still water (Ref. 96829).  Found in lakes. Larvae and juveniles live away from shore. Juveniles feed on invertebrates and plant material while individuals larger than 12 cm SL prey mainly on snails and mussels.  Spawns in shallow and sandy areas with vegetation.  Eggs are very adhesive, 1.0-1.4 mm in diameter (Ref. 59043).  The presence of spawners in February suggests that spawning season may commence at the end of January and extend possibly until March-April (Ref. 96829).
