Cyprinodons, a genus of small pupfishes found in waters that range from fresh to hypersaline in Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and southern United States and northern South America. Individual Cyprinodon species often have a highly specific habitat, overall the genus occurs in a remarkably range of places, such as springs (including those isolated in deserts), pools, lakes, coastal lagoons, creeks, streams and rivers. Their salinity and temperature range is very broad, like those living in hot springs or hypersaline habitats where the salinity far exceeds that of sea water.
