Breeding Behavior
Multiple male Tennessee dace have been observed following a single female through pool and run areas. In fact, as many as 20 have been observed following a single female. Males would form a straight line with the snout of one male just behind the caudal fin of the preceding male. They have also been observed leaping out of the water one hour before and after spawning.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Children can’t make their own rules and no child is happy without them.
