Crappies live in North American freshwater bodies with a lot of weeds, rocks and underwater brush. There are two species of crappie, namely the black crappie and the white crappie.
Crappies rarely exceed 0.91 kg in weight and generally have a length between 23 and 25 centimeters. White crappies have 5–10 dark vertical bars along their bodies, while the black ones have randomly scattered spots. Both species have a silvery-gray to green colour.
Crappies are social fish and form schools.
