Profundulidae

Profundulus is a genus of fish in the family Profundulidae endemic to Mexico and northern Central America. It was regarded as the only genus in the Profundulidae but workers have split the genus and raised a second genus Tlaloc.

Profundulidae is a family of killifishes. The species of this family are native to Central America and Mexico.

The Popoyote (Tlaloc hildebrandi), also known as the Chiapas killifish, is a killifish from the family Profundulidae which is endemic to the valley of San Cristobal de las Casas in the Chiapas Highlands in Southern Mexico. It is highly endangered because its natural habitat, which amounts to only a few square kilometers, is subject to contamination and urban sprawl from San Cristobal. It is currently being targeted by a civil society alliance for the protection of San Cristobal's wetlands.
