Biology:Pseudomugilidae
From HandWiki
The Pseudomugilidae, the blue-eyes, are a family of atheriniform fish.[1] They have variously been treated as either a family of their own or as a subfamily of the Melanotaeniidae.[2] They inhabit fresh and brackish water in Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands.[3] Blue-eyes are small fish, typically no more than 5 cm (2.0 in) in length. Like the larger melanotaeniid rainbowfish, they spawn all year round, and attach their eggs to vegetation.[4]
