The Danubian
longbarbel gudgeon is a small-sized fish (up to 13 cm) with a
fusiform body, slightly compressed laterally. The head is relatively
big compared to the size of the body, the mouth is small and
subterminally a pair of long barbels can be found. At the base of the
caudal fin, there is the peduncle having two whitish spots with a
tendency of uniting. It feeds on sedentary organisms from the bottom
of rivers, namely invertebrates found in various watercourses.
Reproduction takes place in May-June. It usually inhabits only
fast-flowing waters.
