Habitat Type: Freshwater
Comments: Habitat includes sluggish creeks and small to medium rivers of lowlands and level, undissected uplands; pools and backwaters without noticeable current, where the bottom is mud or sometimes sand and organic debris; also weedy lakes, ponds, oxbows, sloughs, and swamps (Lee et al. 1980, Page and Burr 2011). Eggs are laid on plants or plant debris (Page 1983).

Bluntnose darters are threatened in several states along the Mississippi River and adjacent drainages. According to NatureServe Explorer ( http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/), bluntnose darters in Kansas are presumed extirpated, in Wisconsin they are critically imperiled, in Kansas they are imperiled, in Indiana they are vulnerable. Bluntnose darter populations are apparently secure in Kentucky, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Their decline could be caused by siltation resulting from agricultural runoff and creeks drying up during periods of drought.

Inhabit muddy (sometimes sandy) pools and backwaters of creeks and small to medium rivers, weedy lakes and ponds, swamps (Ref. 5723) and streams (Ref. 10294). Adults feed on hydropsychid caddisfly, dytiscid beetle, and midge larvae (Ref. 10294). Eggs are found attached to the substrate unguarded (Ref. 7043).
