Aplocheilidae
Aplocheilidae, the Asian killifishes or Asian rivulines, is a family (biology), family of fish in the order (biology), order Cyprinodontiformes found in Asia. Some authorities use this family-group name, which is well-established, for a single lumped aplocheiloid family as it gives the nomenclature stability over time and avoids the impact of a new name at family rank for a popular aquarium fish group.van der Laan, R., Eschmeyer, W.N. & Fricke, R.
