Chapalichthys is a genus of splitfins that are endemic to west-central Mexico, where found in lakes, pools, ponds and channels in the Lerma–Chapala–Grande de Santiago and Balsas basins.[2][3] Chapalichthys reach up to 9.3 cm (3.7 in) in standard length. Despite this relatively small size, they are often caught as food in Lake Chapala.[2]
