ATLANTIRIVULUS

Order:  Cyprinodontiformes Family:  Rivulidae Genus: Atlantirivulus W. J. E. M. Costa, 2008 Type species Rivulus atratus

Atlantirivulus is a genus of South American plant spawning killifish.  Until 2011, Atlantirivulus were included in Rivulus until Costa’ compete revision of the genus.  J.H Huber refuted Costa’s work and moved all of Costa’s genera back into Rivulus.  There are a number of opinions out there and some prefer to maintain them in Rivulus.  There are currently 15 species in Anablepsoides.  They are extremely rare in the hobby.
