Acheilognathus macropterus (BLEEKER, 1871)

Giant Chinese Bitterling

June 29th, 2014 — 8:43pm

A. macropterus appears in the ornamental trade on an irregular basis and should only be considered by more experienced aquarists with sufficiently large facilities.

Given its wide geographical distribution there is a possibility that it represents a group of closely-related species, with genetic studies indicating the existence of several distinct clades.
