Blue-eyes
The Pseudomugilidae, the blue-eyes, are a subfamily of atheriniform fish in the rainbowfish family Melanotaeniidae. They inhabit fresh and brackish water in Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands. Blue-eyes are small fish, typically no more than in length. Like the larger Melanotaeniid rainbowfish, they spawn all year round, and attach their eggs to vegetation. Genera There are three general in the Pseudomugilinae: * '' Kiunga'' G. R. Allen, 1983 * ''Pseudomugil'' Kner, 1866 * ''Scaturiginichthys The red-finned blue-eye (''Scaturiginichthys vermeilipinnis'') is a tiny, critically endangered species of fish in the family Pseudomugilidae.

Rainbowfish
The rainbowfish or Melanotaeniidae is a family of small, colourful freshwater fish found in northern and eastern Australia, New Guinea (including islands in Cenderawasih Bay and Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia), Sulawesi and Madagascar. The largest rainbowfish genus, ''Melanotaenia'', derives from the ancient Greek ''melano'' (black) and ''taenia'' (banded). Translated, it means "black-banded", and is a reference to the often striking lateral black bands that run along the bodies of those in the genus ''Melanotaenia''. Characteristics The Melanotaeniidae is characterised by having their distal premaxillary teeth enlarged. They have a compressed body with the two dorsal fins being separated but with only a small gap between them. There are 3–7 spines in the first dorsal fin while the second has 6–22 rays, with the first ray being a stout spine in some species, the anal fin has 10–30 rays and, again, the first may be a stout spine in some species. The lateral line is eit ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Pseudomugil
''Pseudomugil'' is a genus of fish in the subfamily Pseudomugilinae endemic to Australia and New Guinea, where they are found in freshwater rivers and streams and bodies of brackish water. Description Members of this genus have slender bodies and two dorsal fins. They are usually sexually dimorphic.Saeed, B., Ivantsoff, W. & Allen, G.R. (1989): Taxonomic Revision of the Family Pseudomugilidae (Order Atheriniformes). ''Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 40 (6): 719-787.'' The name of this genus is a combination of ''pseudo'' meaning "false" and ''mugil'' meaning "mullet", referring to the resemblance of the body shape of this genus to that of the unrelated mullets. Species There are currently 16 recognized species in this genus: * ''Pseudomugil connieae'' ( G. R. Allen, 1981) (Popondetta blue-eye) * ''Pseudomugil cyanodorsalis'' G. R. Allen & Sarti, 1983 (Neon blue-eye) * ''Pseudomugil furcatus'' Nichols, 1955 (Fork-tail blue-eye) * ''Pseudomugil gertrudae ...
