Rhodeus laoensis is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae sub-family of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in Nam Theun river in the Mekong delta in Laos. It was originally described by Kottelat, Doi & Musikasinthorn in 1998. The fish reaches a size of up to 4.7 centimetres (1.9 in).
When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.
