Descripción de la especie
Opsariichthys evolans is a Cyprinidae from eastern Chinese streams. Its calm temperament and broad diet make it one of the more forgiving residents of a community tank. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 6.8–9.9 cm. Singly or in small groups depending on temperament. Stable water, regular partial changes and a varied diet cover nearly everything it needs. Maintain 10–20 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
