Are they hardy? Schooling fish?

I agree.
Did a quick google search and found they are also called a Pale Chub and come from rivers in China, Korea, and Vietnam. Fast running rivers, dont like stagnant waters. Other then that I got nothing.

Wow those are rare. I have never seen it. Maybe Wes at Rare fish can shed some info since he collects fish in China.

Haven’t seen these brought in for a while. Schooling cold water fish. Love current. Sensitive to poor water quality (i believe cause of the current they live in). 5in most aquariums. Peaceful to other fish.
