Romanogobio vladykovi is a small freshwater fish from the carp family. It lives on the bottom of rivers with moderate flow and hard ground.
Romanogobio vladykovi differs from related species by the length of its barbels and the shape of scales on the lateral line. It is important for the river ecosystem as a consumer of bottom invertebrates and food for predatory fish.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
