Rhodeus sciosemus is a subtropical freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in inland rivers in Japan. It was originally described as Acanthorhodeus sciosemus by Jordan & Thompson in 1914. When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.[1]
