It is native to inland rivers in China, and has been introduced as an exotic species to Afghanistan. This fish reaches a maximum length of 5.2 cm (2.0 in). It is native to freshwater habitats with a pH between 6.8 and 7.8, a water hardness of 20 DH, and a temperature range of 10 to 25 °C (50 to 77 °F).
