bio.wikisort.org - AnimalXenotoca is a genus of fish in the family Goodeidae from Mexico, where found in a wide range of habitats, from rivers and creeks to pools and lakes, in the Lerma–Grande de Santiago, Panuco, Cuitzeo and other basins of the Mesa Central. While no goodeid is a very common aquarium fish, the redtail splitfin (X. eiseni), is one of the most common aquarium goodeids. Its relatively bright colors offset its reputation for being aggressive towards tankmates, occasionally even killing them.[2] Similarly to that species, two species described in 2016 have males with red-orange tails, but this feature is not shared by the remaining members of the genus.[3] The Xenotoca species are small, reaching up to 9 cm (4 in) in standard length.[4]

Species
X. doadrioi was only scientifically described in 2016 (it was formerly considerec a variant of X. eiseni). Like the other "redtails", only the male has a red-orange tail
There are currently five recognized species in this genus,[3][5] but two possibly undescribed species, tentatively referred to as Xenotoca cf. melanosoma and Xenotoca cf. variata, are known.[6][7]
Genetic work has shown that the genus, as currently defined, is not monophyletic: The type species X. variata is distantly related to the remaining, which eventually will be reallocated to their own genus.[3]
