# Acrossocheilus iridescens

Acrossocheilus iridescens is a species of cyprinid fish native to freshwater in southeastern China, northern Laos, and northern Vietnam. It reaches up to 29.7 cm (11.7 in) in standard length. Juveniles are pale yellowish with 5–6 narrow dark bars, but in adults (over 11 cm or 4.3 in long) the dark bars are broad. It has sometimes included A. longipinnis as a subspecies, but recent authorities recognize them as separate species.
