The longnose sucker is a freshwater fish native to North America, particularly found in rivers and lakes. Its relationship with humans is based around recreational fishing. In recreational fishing, longnose suckers are occasionally targeted by anglers for sport or as bait fish.
It has been introduced into Yellowstone Lake and expanded its range into upper Yellowstone tributaries and lakes. The Longnose sucker is believed to be the longest-lived fish in the park, and that a 20-inch (51 cm), 3-pound (1.4 kg) fish might be as old as 25 years. [4]
Longnose suckers also prefer moderate to faster-moving waters. The Longnose sucker can reach an average length of 15 to 20 inches, and weigh up 1 to 2 pounds. Longnose suckers are omnivores bottom feeders; they will slowly swim on the bottom searching for curstactions, invertebrates, algae and fish eggs to consume. [8] LC

However, longnose dace (like all members of the family Cyprinidae) lack small fleshy projections, called papillae, on their mouths. Juveniles have a black lateral line that extends from the beginning of the eye to the caudal fin that fades as the fish ...
