Acrossocheilus iridescens is a species of cyprinid fish native to freshwater in southeastern China, northern Laos, and northern Vietnam.[2][3] It reaches up to 29.7 cm (11.7 in) in standard length.[2] 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.[3] It has sometimes included A. longipinnis as a subspecies, but recent authorities recognize them as separate species.[3]
