Rhodeus pseudosericeus is a temperate freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae sub-family of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in theNamhan River system in the Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do provinces Korea. It was originally described as Acanthorhodeus atremius by Jordan & Thompson in 1914. The fish reaches a size of up to 6.1 centimetres (2.4 in).
When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.
