The Mangrove Killifish is a small and slender fish in the superfamily Rivulidea. As its name suggests, it usually lives in mangroves, hills, marshes, or other dry places. Its reproductive system is hermaphrodite, which means it is self-fertilized. However, the Mangrove Killifish is also known as a cannibal, as it often eats its own eggs.
