"These fish are so small, they can fit their entire body in the palm of your hand. During mating season, the male's belly turns a light orange in order to propery attract a mate. They live in rivers and lakes and deposit eggs in large bivalves where the eggs hatch and live for a while."
In real life
The Amur Bitterling, Rhodeus sericeus, is a small fish in the carp family. Bitterlings usually reside in areas with dense plant growth. They are a hardy fish and can survive in water that is not very well oxygenated. They grow to be 3-4in. long at most. The diet of a bitterling typically consists of plants and small insect larvae.
Bitterlings lay their eggs inside of mussels. Though it was long thought that it was a symbiotic relationship, it is in fact parasitic.
