Descripción
The Topeka shiner is a type of minnow that does not grow longer than a few inches. This minnow is a shiny silver color. Its main physical characteristic is the black colored stripe that runs along the side of the body.
Distribución y hábitat
Miniellus topeka was formerly broadly distributed in the northwestern Mississippi River basin, from southern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota south to central Missouri and western Kansas. The Topeka shiner lives mainly in prairie streams. In order for the Topeka shiner to survive the water must be cold and clear. The streams in which this Minnow lives are typically consistent and run year long. In cases in which the stream does dry up, the Topeka Shiner needs to find a new stream or permanent body of water to survive. Oxbow lakes are especially important habitat for Topeka shiners, as in faster moving bodies of water, they are easily picked off.
