Rhodeus fangi is a subtropical freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae subfamily of the Cyprinidae family. It originates in the Pearl River, Yangtze 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.
