The Little Colorado spinedace (Lepidomeda vittata) is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae.
[2] The Little Colorado spinedace sides are usually silvery, darker above and sometimes white below, rarely with lateral blotches.
The fish are most common in slow to moderate water currents, over fine gravel bottoms.
Populations are thought to be declining, however, due to alteration of habitat through reduced streamflow and interaction with introduced fish species.
Additional limiting factors and concerns include decreased streamflow, impoundment of water, and interaction with and predation by, introduced exotic fishes.
