Long Valley speckled dace are small, often less than 8 centimeters in length, and live in cold-water to hot springs with water temperatures up to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The subspecies once lived in seven locations within the Long Valley Caldera in Mono County. Today just one wild population exists at Whitmore Marsh near the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
