The evolutionary history of this group is presumed to involve an early separation of the presently recognized E. proeliare and E. microperca groups followed by a latter isolation of a subset of an E. proeliare- like ancestor.
No population estimates of Etheostoma fonticola are available for this new Comal River population; however, there appear to be many fewer fountain darters in the Comal River than in the San Marcos River due primarily to the low availability of suitable habitat in this spring run (21).

The habitat was quite different from the flowing, clear water habitat typical for this species; other darters taken in this collection were Etheostoma gracile (slough darter) and Percina macrolepida (bigscale logperch).
Etheostoma radiosum was reported once previously (in 1959) in the Washita system by Riggs and Bonn (7) from Butcher Pen Creek, Johnston Co., on the basis of four specimens, but this record was apparently overlooked by subsequent authors (2-5).

 Student project report - Ichthyology - ZOO334C
The Etheostoma spectabile complex consists of six species and three subspecies of brightly colored darters which range over a large portion of the Midwest and Central Plains of the United States.
The three darter genera share the following characters: ctenoid scales; 2 dorsal fins that are separate or narrowly joined, the first with spines and the second with soft rays; 1-2 anal spines; thoracic pelvic fins with 1 spine and 5 soft rays; and 5-7 branchiostegal rays.

 ADW: Etheostoma caeruleum: Information (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The different coloration of males and females and changes in coloration during the reproductive season may serve as visual signals to other darters and likely play a role in sexual selection.
Recent studies have suggested that rainbow darters show a decrease in activity levels when exposed to macerated skin from either other rainbow darters or a conspecific such as the yoke darter, Etheostoma juliae.
The decrease in activity is a behavioral response to the threat of predation and most likely results from an alarm pheromone released through the skin of the macerated darter (Commens and Mathis, 1999).
