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.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:
“Judgments, value judgments concerning life, whether for or against it, can in the end never be true: their only value is as symptoms, they only come into consideration as symptoms—in themselves such judgments are stupidities. We must reach out and attempt to put our finger on this astonishing finesse, that the value of life cannot be assessed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
