Family Poeciliidae - Poeciliids
Order : Cyprinodontiformes Poeciliidae
Class : Teleostei
No. in FishBase : Genera : 29 | Species : 274 Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes
Environment : Fresh : Yes | Brackish : Yes | Marine : Yes
Division : Secondary freshwater
Aquarium : many
First Fossil Record :      
Remark : Distribution: low altitudes from eastern United States to northeastern Argentina; also in Africa and Madagascar. Reported to occur in salt waters in coastal areas (Ref. 13498, 26130), but only one species lives in true marine waters Poeciliopsis latidens (Garman, 1895).

Pectoral fins placed high on side of body; anterior placement of pelvic fins; pleural ribs on the first several haemal arches; ventral hyphyral forms a bony cap over the anterior facet of the anterior ceratohyal; supraorbital pores modified such that neuromasts are found embedded in fleshy grooves. Gonopodium present or absent. Some species with all-female individuals, their eggs capable of developing when stimulated by the sperm of another species without fertilization. The Fluviophylacine and the Aplocheilichthyinae that were formerly placed in the Cyprinodontidae are now placed here, thus changing the livebearers to subfamily rank Poeciliinae (Ref. 7463).

Small bodied, 2-20 cm SL (Ref. 92353).

Etymology : Greek, poikilos = with different colours ( Ref. 45335).
Reproductive guild : mixed
Typical activity level : normal

Species/Synonymy list for the family Poeciliidae as currently in FishBase

Important recommendation:

The list below must not be used as an authority reference synonymy list like those found in scientific published revisions, which must be the source to be used and cited eventually when they exist.

Rather, it reflects the current content of FishBase, and the progress with respect to synchronization with the Catalog of Fishes. However, we think it can be useful for users to assess the quality of information in FishBase, to start new work on the family, or to cross-check with other lists.

But we appreciate to be cited in publications when this list has been of any working value. In particular, for published scientific, we suggest then to cite it in the Material and Method section as a useful tool to conduct the research, but again, not as a taxonomic or nomenclatural authority reference.

Unless it is explicitly precised, the list is not complete, please search all original names published for the family in the Catalog of Fishes (genera, species), including those with uncertain or unknown status, that are not included in FishBase when they are not attached to a valid species.

This list uses some data from Catalog of Fishes (not shown but used to sort names).

The list ordered as follows:

Please send comments and corrections if you detect errors or missing names.
