Asia , but introduced and now considered aninvasive species inEurope .Invasive species
The fish was introduced in the 1960s into ponds in
Nucet ,Dâmboviţa County ,Romania and it made its way intoDanube , then spreading throughout Europe. They pose danger to another species such as the sunbleaks ("Leucaspius delineatus "), as they are the carrier of a parasite which while not damaging to the topmouth gudgeon, attacks other fishes like the sunbleaks, which are unable to spawn and have a higher mortality when infected.
