In Cuba and Yucat there are three species of brotula (family Ophidiidae or Brotulidae) found in caves. Among the large superorder Ostariophysi (minnows, carps, and catfish), one of the best known is Astyanax (or Anoptichthys ) jordani, an eyeless, 7.5-centimetre characin (family Characidae) found in Mexico and often kept in home aquariums. Others include Caecobarbus geertsi, an African member of the minnow family (Cyprinidae), and certain catfish belonging to several families and found in the United States, Mexico, South America, and Africa.
