Rhodeus fangi is a subtropical freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae subfamily of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in the Pearl River, Yangtze River , Yellow River, and Amur River in China. It was originally described as Pararhodeus fangi by C.P. Miao in 1934.[1]

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