Rhodeus laoensis is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae subfamily of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in Nam Theun River in the Mekong Delta in Laos. The fish reaches a length up to 4.7 cm (1.9 in). When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.[1]
