Etymology: Campostoma: Greek, kampe = curved + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); ornatum: Campo=curved and stoma=mouth (in reference to its U-shaped mouth); ornate referring to ornamental coloration of breeding males (Ref. 79012).

Adults inhabit rocky riffles and adjacent pools of headwaters and creeks (Ref. 86798). Herbivorous, bottom feeder (Contreras-Balderas 1974) feeding mainly on diatoms, bacteria and algae (Ref. 79012). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
Cycle de vie et comportement reproducteur
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Adult males construct spawning pits by digging into the gravel with their snouts or mouths and remove small pieces of substrate (Ref. 51088, 31216). Mating occurs in the pits afterwhich the eggs are abandoned (Ref. 51087). Males are highly territorial (Ref. 51087). In other occasions, Campostoma species spawn in nests of Nocomis and Semotilus and with each other as nest associates (Ref. 51087). Also Ref. 51089.
