Rhodeus uyekii is a temperate freshwater fish belonging to the Acheilognathinae sub-family of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in inland rivers in South Korea . It was originally described as Pseudoperilampus uyekii by T. Mori in 1935.
Named in honor of Homiki Uyeki (1882-1976), botanist, Suigen Agricultural College (type locality is in Suigen, Korea).[1]
The fish reaches a length up to 6.0 cm (2.4 in). When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.[2]
