The
Splitfins
or
Goodeids
are the family
Goodeidae
of
bony fish
.
Fishbase
recognises 53
species
, classified into 19 genera. The family includes a number of popular
aquarium
fish, for example the
Redtail Splitfin
Xenotoca eiseni
. Splitfins are found in fresh or brackish water, in
Nevada
and west central
Mexico
. Many have very local distributions. The family is divided into two subfamilies. One, the Emptrichinae, contains only the two species classified in the genus
Empetrichthys
. The remaining species are classified in the subfamily Goodeinae. Goodeines are
viviparous
(live-bearing). The group gets its name from the fact that, in the male fish, the anterior rays of the anal fin are partly separated from rest of the fin. Splitfins can be up to 20 cm in length, though most species are much smaller, around 5cm.
