The iridescent toothcarp or pearl-spotted killifish[3](Paraphanius mento) is a species of killifish in the family Aphaniidae. It can be found in Western Asia (Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Turkey).[1][3] It occurs in a wide range of freshwater habitats (springs, streams, lakes and rivers).[1] It grows to 5 cm (2.0 in) total length.[3] This species was described in 1843 as Lebias mento by Johann Jakob Heckel with the type locality given as Mosul in Iraq.[4] The acanthocephalan parasite Triaspiron aphanii was found to infest 90% of a sample of Iridescent toothcarp.[5]
