Anablepidae is a family of ray-finned fishes which live in brackish and freshwater habitats from southern Mexico to southern South America.[2] There are three genera with sixteen species: the four-eyed fishes (genus Anableps), the onesided livebearers (genus Jenynsia) and the white-eye, Oxyzygonectes dovii. Fish of this family eat mostly insects and other invertebrates.
