Nandopsis is a small genus of cichlid fishes found in lakes, streams and rivers in Cuba and Hispaniola. Nandopsis are the only cichlids native to the Antilles.
The genus currently contains three extant species, as well as one fossil species from the late Oligocene epoch. An additional species, N. vombergae is recognized by some, but considered a synonym of N. haitiensis by FishBase. [3]
Limia is a genus of livebearing fishes belonging to the Cyprinodontiform family Poeciliidae, which includes other livebearers such as platys, swordtails, guppies and mollies. They are found in fresh and brackish water. Of the 21 described Limia species, 17 are endemic to Hispaniola, one is found on both Hispaniola and Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Venezuela have an endemic species each. Limia are popular in aquaria among more advanced hobbyists.
The humpbacked limia or black-barred limia is a critically endangered species of poeciliid fish which is endemic to Haiti. Its common name is derived from the hump males develop as they age. It is sometimes kept in home aquaria.
Perugia's limia is a small fish of the family Poeciliidae endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, where it occurs in streams.
Lucifuga subterranea, or the Cuban cusk-eel, is a species of cavefish in the family Bythitidae. It is endemic to Cuba. Within the caves, sinkholes and crevices in which it occurs it is common, it feeds on cirolanid isopods.
The fourspine cichlid is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it lives in areas with sandy substrates. In addition to feeding on other fishes and insect larvae, this species is specialized to suck molluscs from their shells. This species can reach a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Lucifuga dentata is a species of fish in the family Bythitidae. It is endemic to Cuba.
Rivulus is a genus of small freshwater fish in the Cyprinodontiformes family Rivulidae. It was traditionally considered to be the largest genus in its family; however, the genus's size is currently in dispute. Wilson J. E. Costa split this genus into several new genera in 2004 and 2011, leaving only a few Greater Antillean species in Rivulus itself. Despite being moved to other genera, some of the species retain the common name "rivulus", like the well-known mangrove rivulus. Shortly after the review by Costa, another review authored by J.H. Huber refuted the split, moving the proposed genera back in Rivulus and again making the genus the largest in the family Aplocheilidae.
Gambusia dominicensis, known as the Dominican gambusia, domingo gambusia, or domingo mosquito fish, is a species of freshwater fish native to the lake of Etang Saumatre on Hispaniola, in eastern Haiti and the western Dominican Republic. A 2020 update to the IUCN Red List removed the Dominican Republic from the extent of occurrence description; the range map continues to include both countries. The authors noted, "Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) cannot be determined with accuracy, as the species has not been collected since 1913 and georeferenced records associated with the type locality are lacking".
Amatitlania is a genus of cichlid fishes native to freshwater habitats in Central America from El Salvador and Guatemala to Panama. They are fairly small cichlids, typically reaching up to 6.4–10 cm (2.5–4 in) in standard length depending on exact species, although captives may grow larger.
Cincelichthys is a genus of high-bodied cichlids found in southern Mexico to Guatemala, where they inhabit lakes, rivers and other freshwater habitats. They are large cichlids, up to 35–42.5 cm (14–17 in) long depending on species, with females reaching smaller sizes than males.
The Montecristo cichlid is a species of freshwater fish from the Atlantic slope of southern Mexico and Guatemala. This cichlid occurs in lagoons, creeks and rivers with slight to moderate current in the Grijalva–Usumacinta, Candelaria, Champotón and Coatzacoalcos river drainages. It is currently recognized as the only species in its genus, but it is closely related to –and possibly should be merged into– Vieja. The Montecristo cichlid reaches up to 24 cm (9.4 in) in standard length.
Darienheros calobrensis, is a species of cichlid found in Middle America. It is distributed in the Darién area of eastern Panamá on the Pacific slope in the Tuíra, Chucunaque and Bayano River basins. This species is the only known member of its genus. The specific name alludes to the Rio Calobre, the type locality.
