Food Chains…

Mohave tui chub are omnivores that “graze” on any small organism (mainly tiny crustaceans and rotifers), plant or animals (aquatic insects and their larvae, small bottom invertebrates) that drifts, floats, swims (plankton) or grows in their freshwater habitat along with organic debris (detritus) that may also collect there.

On the other hand, it important to remember that the Mohave tui chub is a food source for other fish and fish eaters (like this catfish eating a related species of chub).
