About Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846)

Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846), commonly called the stone moroko or topmouth gudgeon, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish. It is classified in the family Gobionidae, which is the gudgeon family. This fish is originally native to Asia, but it has been introduced to Europe and North America, where it is now considered an invasive species. Fully grown individuals rarely reach more than 8 cm in total length, and most mature specimens measure between 2 and 7.5 cm (0.79 to 2.95 inches) long.
