The schneider is a small schooling fish from Europe, from fast-flowing, well-oxygenated rivers and streams, where it swims in open water. It eats insect larvae, insects fallen on the water, small crustaceans and diatoms. It spawns in small groups, laying its eggs in gravel. It is usually around 9 centimetres. Populations in Asia and the southern Balkans are now considered separate species.
