The Tennessee Aquarium is continuing its work to save this fish species that is only found near Chattanooga. (See earlier post)
This species of freshwater minnow has been considered endangered since 2011 and now is only found in two streams on Walden’s Ridge. Factors like invasive predators, parasites, and prolonged drought have led to the species rapid disappearance.
