The Muraenesocidae, or pike congers, are a small family of marine eels found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. Some species are known to enter brackish water.
Labroides is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This genus is collectively known as cleaner wrasses, and its species are cleaner fish.
Muraenesox is a small genus of eels found throughout the Indo-Pacific. It currently has three described species as most species have been moved to other genera. Members are found in the Indo-West Pacific.
Cynoponticus is a genus of marine ray-fiined fishes belonging to the family Muraenesocidae, the pike congers. The fishes in this genus are found in the Eastern and Western Atlantic Oceans and the Eastern Pacific Ocean, with a single parapatric species in each region.
Heteromormyrus is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Mormyridae, the elephantfishes. These fishes are found in southern and central Africa in Angola, Namibia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, maybe, Zimbabwe.
Chilorhinus is a small genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Chlopsidae, the false morays. These eels occur in tropical waters

Kertomichthys is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ophichthidae, the snake eels. The only member of this genus is Kertomichthys blastorhinos, a species known only from its holotype which was collected in the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of French Guiana.
Bangana is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is distributed across much of southern and eastern Asia. Species live mainly in the flowing waters of tropical and subtropical rivers.

Sauromuraenesox is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Muraenesocidae, the pike congers. The only species in the genus is Sauromuraenesox vorax which was described in 1889 by the British physician, naturalist and carcinologist Alfred William Alcock with its type locality given as the Bay of Bengal. This species is found in the northern Indian Ocean where it has been recorded off Oman, the Arabian and Andaman coasts of India, including Sri Lanka, east to Myanmar. This benthopelagic species is found over the continental shelf and upper slope over soft substrates at depths betwen 274 and 469 m.
