The shiner eats insects, worms, mites, microcrustaceans, and algae.
It is found that water pollution from wastewater and runoff affect the immune system of spottail shiners.
In addition to having numerous competitors, the redfin shiner also has a large number of predators.
The redfin shiner is easily identifiable with its deeply compressed body, large eyes and attractive colors.
The redfin shiner can be found anywhere from slow moving bays to high-gradient upland streams.
Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are the two primary predators of the warpaint shiner.
Associates of the warpaint shiner include the saffron shiner and the river chub.
Fish found in this lake include rainbow trout, bull trout, redside shiners, northern pikeminnows, suckers and coastal cutthroat trout.
