bitterling
Small freshwater minnow
A bitterling is a small freshwater fish native to Europe and Asia, notable for its unusual reproductive strategy: the female uses a long tube to deposit eggs inside freshwater mussels, where they develop protected.
Bitterlings are sometimes kept in aquariums for their iridescent breeding colors.
