Rapidly moving, often swimming in groups in shallow water in the upper layer. Omnivorous, with a staple diet of invertebrates. In the Yangtze River, spawning in May to June, spawning with the habit of jumping against the water to the beach. Spawning in batches. Adheres to water plants or gravel.

Growth and reproduction

Marriage coloring occurs at the spawning period, with males and females swimming side by side, and the females laying their eggs on water plants and other attachments, i.e., the nest. Fertilized eggs hatch in about 1~2 days, and the young fish remain attached to the nest, supplied with nutrients from the yolk sacs in the body, and after 2~3 days, the young fish begin to swim and forage for food after consuming the nutrients in the yolk sacs. Parent fish have the habit of swallowing eggs and do not know how to care for their young.
