Artübersicht
Cyprinidae species Rhodeus atremius comes from Korean Peninsula. Like its relatives it depends on living freshwater mussels for breeding, so a fine-sand bed and settled water matter more than décor. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.5–6.6 cm. Loose shoals; groups of 6+ settle quickly. Offer small foods in calm corners and keep the water stable — this fish forgives little else in the way of sloppiness. Maintain 10–25 °C at pH 6.8–7.8. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
