Rhodeus rheinardti


Rhodeus rheinardti is a tropical freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Acheilognathidae, the bitterlings. It originates in the Perfume River, near Hué, Vietnam. It was originally described as Danio rheinardti by G. Tirant in 1883.
Named possibly in honor of Pierre-Paul Rheinart, a French official in Hué, Viêt Nam, who sent zoological specimens to Paris.
When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.
