Rhodeus fangi is a subtropical freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Acheilognathidae, the bitterlings. It originates in the Pearl River, Yangtze River in China. It was originally described as Pararhodeus fangi by C.P. Miao in 1934.[3]
Etymology

When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.
