The Amur ide is a fish of the carp family. It lives in the fresh waters of the Amur River basin and neighboring rivers of the Far East.
The Amur ide tolerates cold winters and sharp fluctuations in water temperature well. It serves as an important link in the river food chain, eating small animals and becoming prey for predatory fish and birds.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
