Habitat. Lowland riverine habitats, especially oxbows and other water bodies connected to rivers only during floods. Often found in ponds, steppe lakes, and small bodies of water not connected to rivers. May occur in any habitat with few or no predators. Biology. Gregarious. Spawns first time with one year; only for a single season. Spawns May – September when temperatures reach 16 – 18 ° C. Females may spawn about once every 3 weeks. Males are territorial; they clean spawning area and guard eggs, tied in strings around roots, reeds, aquatic vegetation, or any material floating on water surface. Feeds mainly on zooplankton and terrestrial insects. Stunted populations can form in predator-free habitats. Often rapidly invades newly created water bodies by as yet-unknown mechanisms. In Europe, scales were used to produce Essence d’Orient to coat artificial pearls.
