Trigonectes
''Trigonectes'' is a genus of fish in the family (biology), family Rivulidae. These annual killifish are Endemism, endemic to the Paraguay River, Paraguay, upper Madeira River, Madeira (Beni River, Beni, Guaporé River, Guaporé and Mamoré River, Mamoré) and Tocantins River, Tocantins basins in far northern Argentina, Bolivia, central Brazil and western Paraguay. They inhabit seasonal swamp, pools and similar habitats in open regions (for example, savanna). Once the water disappears, the adults die, but the eggs that have been laid in the bottom remain, only hatching after several months (up to a year) when the water returns. They are relatively large killifish that are up to in total length depending on the exact species. Species There are currently 6 species in this genus: * ''Trigonectes aplocheiloides'' Jean Henri Huber, Huber, 1995 * ''Trigonectes balzanii'' (Alberto Perugia, Perugia, 1891) * ''Trigonectes macrophthalmus'' Wilson José Eduardo Moreira da Costa, W.
