Aphanius
''Aphanius'' is a genus of pupfishes. Unlike other members of the family which are from the Americas, ''Aphanius'' species are native to northern Africa, southwestern Asia (as far east as India) and southern Europe. Several species in the genus have very small distributions and are seriously threatened. Fossil record Fossils of ''Aphanius'' are found in strata of the Pleistocene of Italy (age range: from 11.608 to 5.332 million years ago.). Species The 39 recognized species in this genus are: * ''Aphanius almiriensis'' Kottelat, Barbieri & Stoumboudi, 2007 * ''Aphanius anatoliae'' Leidenfrost, 1912 (Lake Tuz toothcarp) * ''Aphanius apodus'' Gervais, 1853 * ''Aphanius arakensis'' Teimori, Esmaeili, Gholami, Zarei & Reichenbacher ( de), 2012 Teimori, A., Esmaeili, H.R., Gholami, Z., Zarei, N. & Reichenbacher, B.

Aphanius Anatoliae
''Aphanius anatoliae'', the Anatolian giant killifish or Lake Tuz toothcarp, is a species of fish in the family Cyprinodontidae. It is endemic to Turkey. It is known from freshwater springs and streams around Lake Tuz, as well as from the Lake Beyşehir basin and from Konya eastward to Niğde. It lives in clear, well-oxygenated running freshwaters. It is threatened by water abstraction and the drying out of streams and springs. It is also impacted by the introduction of ''Gambusia ''Gambusia'' is a large genus of viviparous fish in the family Poeciliidae (order Cyprinodontiformes).

Aphanius Danfordii
''Aphanius danfordii'', the Kızılırmak toothcarp or Sultan Sazlığı toothcarp, is a species of killifish belonging to the family Cyprinodontidae. It is endemic to the Kızılırmak River and the upper Seyhan River drainage systems and is now restricted to a few locations in the Sultan Sazlığı marshes. Though little data is available, the population of the fish seems to be declining. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being " critically endangered" and fears it may become extinct in the wild if the drainage of the marshes continues. Distribution It is endemic to Turkey and distributes in the drainage systems of the Kızılırmak River and in the upper Seyhan River, but further investigations are needed. Description The Kızılırmak toothcarp shows sexual dimorphism like all ''Aphanius'' species. Males have nine to twelve dark grey-black bars on the sides of the body, a dark blue-black dorsal fin and colourless to y ...

Aphanius Almiriensis
The Almiri toothcarp or Almiri killifish (''Aphanius almiriensis'') is a species of pupfish belonging to the family Cyprinodontidae. It can be found in a handful of brackish springs and marshes in the Peloponnese, Greece. Due to one of the springs being dammed up with rocks in the late 1990s to early 2000s, the IUCN considers the fish to be critically endangered on criteria B1ab (i, ii, iii, i, v) and B2ab (i, ii, iii, iv, v); it is possibly extinct at its type locality. Etymology The species name, ''almiriensis'', refers to Almiri, where the fish was originally discovered. Description Like all members of the genus ''Aphanius'', the fish display sexual dimorphism Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the sexes of the same animal and/or plant species exhibit different morphological characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction.

Pupfish
Pupfish are a group of small killifish belonging to ten genera of the family Cyprinodontidae of ray-finned fish. Pupfish are especially noted for being found in extreme and isolated situations. They are primarily found in North America, South America, and the Caribbean region, but ''Aphanius'' species are from southwestern Asia, northern Africa, and southern Europe. As of August 2006, 120 nominal species and 9 subspecies were known. Several pupfish species are extinct and most extant species are listed. In the U.S., the most well-known pupfish species may be the Devil's Hole Desert Pupfish, native to Devil's Hole on the Nevada side of Death Valley National Park. Since 1995 the Devil's Hole Pupfish has been in a nearly steady decline, where it was close to extinction at 35–68 fish in 2013. The common name is said to derive from the mating habits of the males, whose activities vaguely resemble puppies at play. Carl L. Hubbs, a prominent ichthyologist and one of the first peopl ...
