Description
Common galaxias have iridescent silver eyes, undersides, and gill covers, and some have an iridescent green stripe along the top of their bodies which can be intermittently seen as they swim. Their specific name maculatus ("spotted") comes from the pattern of dark-mottled, leopard-like spots on an olive-brown background along their upper bodies. This pattern ranges from very subtle to quite bold. Common galaxias have slightly forked tails, unlike other most other galaxiids, which have square tails. Adults typically range from 8–11 cm (3.1–4.3 in) in length, with an average of 10 cm (4 in). The maximum reported length 19 cm (7.5 in). They are commonly found in small schools or shoals in slow-moving water, but can be more solitary in swifter streams.
