Priapichthys Annectens
''Priapichthys annectens'' is a species of freshwater fish. It is a member of the family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes. It is the type species of the genus ''Priapichthys'' (though first described as '' Gambusia annectens''). It is native to Costa Rica, primarily inhabiting brooks and streams with currents of low to high velocity. A carnivorous surface feeder, it occurs in shoals near the shoreline. This species has the terminal, upward-facing mouth typical of surface feeders, and a protruding belly. It is of plain coloration with 6–12 dark vertical bars along its sides, and the intensity of the bars varies according to the geographical region of different populations. Males reach a maximum overall length around 4 cm, with females reaching about 6.5 cm.

Priapichthys Caliensis
''Priapichthys caliensis'' is a species of freshwater fish. It is a member of the family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes. It is endemic to Colombia (the type locality is Cali, Colombia) and primarily inhabiting brooks and streams with currents of low to high velocity. A carnivorous surface feeder, it occurs in shoals near the shoreline. This species has the terminal, upward-facing mouth typical of surface feeders, and a protruding belly. Adult specimens reach a maximum of approximately 3 cm standard length, i.e. full length of entire body, excluding caudal fin Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish.

Arthur Wilbur Henn
Arthur Wilbur Henn, (March 8, 1890, in Evansville, Indiana – May 8, 1959, in Winter Park, Florida), was an American ichthyologist and herpetologist. Henn succeeded Carl H. Eigenmann to the position of Curator of Fishes at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He was the longest-serving Treasurer in the history of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists from 1931 to 1949. He dedicated much of his life to conversation and public education.

Poeciliid
The Poeciliidae are a family of freshwater fishes of the order Cyprinodontiformes, the tooth-carps, and include well-known live-bearing aquarium fish, such as the guppy, molly, platy, and swordtail. The original distribution of the family was the Southeastern United States to north of RÃo de la Plata, Argentina, and Africa, including Madagascar. Due to release of aquarium specimens and the widespread use of species of the genera ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' for mosquito control, though, poeciliids can today be found in all tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In addition, ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' specimens have been identified in hot springs pools as far north as Banff, Alberta. Live-bearing Although the whole family Poeciliidae is known as "live bearers" (viviparous), some species are egg-scattering with external fertilization. All African species are egg-layers, and (with the exception of the members of the genus ''Tomeurus''), all American species are live ...

Freshwater Fish Of South America
Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. Although the term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water, it does include non- salty mineral-rich waters such as chalybeate springs. Fresh water may encompass frozen and meltwater in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, snowfields and icebergs, natural precipitations such as rainfall, snowfall, hail/ sleet and graupel, and surface runoffs that form inland bodies of water such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, as well as groundwater contained in aquifers, subterranean rivers and lakes. Fresh water is the water resource that is of the most and immediate use to humans. Water is critical to the survival of all living organisms. Many organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of higher plants and most insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds need fresh water to survive. Fresh water i ...
