Amur Bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus) is a diurnal cold-loving fish that lives in reservoirs with stagnant or slow-flowing water. This elusive fish tends to keep in small flocks at depths up to 2 yards(2 meters), in secluded and quiet places with a sandy or rocky bottom overgrown with algae. Its diet consists mostly of algae, as well as worms and insect larvae. It’s possible that it was the plant-based diet that made this fish’s meat bitter, which is probably where its name came from.
