Hemigrammocypris neglecta explained

Hemigrammocypris neglecta, the golden venus chub,^[1] is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan. It is found widely in lowland habitats, including ditches and ponds.^[2] It is listed as endangered on the Japanese Red List.^[3] H. neglecta is the only species in its genus, but there are significant genetic differences between some populations, comparable to those generally seen between closely related species.^[4] It reaches up to 7cm (03inches) in length, but typically is .^[5] It is a short-lived species that typically reaches an age of about one year.^[2] It is listed as endangered in the Red List of Threatened Fishes of Japan.^[6]
