Biology:Tampichthys
From HandWiki
Tampichthys is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows.[1] The fishes in this genus are endemic to east–central Mexico.[2][3] They are entirely restricted to the Pánuco River basin, except T. ipni, which also occurs in some other Mexican rivers that drain into the Gulf of Mexico.[3]
These are small fish, generally no more than 9 cm (3.5 in) long,[2] and overall brownish-silvery with a distinct dark horizontal line from the head to the tail base.[3]
