Carp Toothed (Cyprinodontiformes)

About 400 species of small, up to 10-15 cm long, fish, common in tropical and subtropical regions of America, Africa, southern Europe, South and East Asia, belong to the carp-toothed. The overwhelming majority of species live in fresh water bodies, a few live in brackish water, a few go into the coastal waters of the sea. Some species live in hot springs in America with water temperatures up to 40 ° C and even higher. They feed on aquatic invertebrates.

Southern aphyosemion (Aphyosemion australe)

The body is usually cylindrical in the anterior part, somewhat laterally compressed in the posterior part, covered with cycloidal scales. There is no lateral line, or it is poorly developed. Most fish-toothed fish keep near the surface of the water, hunting for food here. The front part of the head is usually flattened from above, the small retractable mouth is semi-superior or superior and is shifted to the end of the snout. The dorsal fin is one, pushed back and located above the anal. No spiny rays in fins. The abdominal ones are located on the belly. There is a closed swim bladder. Externally resembling small cyprinids, carps are distinguished by the presence of teeth on their jaws, which never happens in cyprinids. The jaws have small teeth.

Of the nine families, four have developed ovoviviparity: the female gives birth to from 2-5 to 30 and even up to 200 fry. Several species of the family blind-eyed - Amblyopsidae live in the waters of the karst caves of North America; eggs are hatched in the mouth. Carp-toothed ovoviviparous; carry 2-5 embryos, reaching 4-6 cm at birth.

Crenicht Bailey (Crenichthys baileyi moapae)

Many species of fish-toothed fish are bright and variegated in color, and therefore they are widely bred in aquariums. Some species are used in laboratories for research on embryology, physiology, hybridization, genetics, and are also bred to destroy mosquito larvae: for example, mosquito gambusia (3-5 cm long) is acclimatized in the southern regions of the CIS.
