Named possibly in honor of Pierre-Paul Rheinart (1840-1902), a French official in Hué, Viêt Nam (type locality for this bitterling), who sent zoological specimens to Paris.[3]

When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim.[4]
