Life History
The life expectancy based on similar minnows can be estimated in a range of one to two years. It has been reported that the offspring eggs are slightly yellow and transparent in color. The Devils River minnow mating is likely to produce non-adhesive and demersal eggs in the spring, which is similar to traits of Dionda serena and Dionda episcopa. Breeding males develop a blue-green coloration on their body with yellow on the fins when ready to mate. The species’ spawning season occurs during springtime. Not much else is known on the Devils River minnow’s life history, reproduction rate or habits at this time.
