Goodeinae is a subfamily of splitfins from Mexico, part of the family Goodeidae.[2] They are small fish which mostly live in fresh water, especially around Mesa Central, west of Mexico City. Members of the subfamily are also found in brackish water on both the east and west coasts. They typically have small ranges and many are seriously threatened (some already extinct). The subfamily takes its name from its type genus Goodea and so is ultimately named after the United States ichthyologist George Brown Goode (1851-1896).[3]

Genera

The following genera make up the subfamily Goodeinae:[4][2][5]
