Anisochromis

Anisochromis is a genus of ray-finned fish, it is the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Anisochrominae, part of the dottyback family Pseudochromidae. They are distinguished from other subfamilies of the Pseudochromidae by having a single spine and four soft rays, three of which are branched and one is simple, in the pelvic fins and the pelvic fins are obviously placed to the front of the base of the pectoral fin. The pectoral fins have 13-15 rays and there is a single lateral line which runs along the base of the dorsal fin, the dorsal fin having one weak spine.[3]

gollark: You are obviously not seeing the people without issues by looking there though.
gollark: Dendrite is somewhat faster but still very resource hungry versus an IRC server or bouncer, and it lacks features.
gollark: There's one feature complete usable one.
gollark: Although that might just be XMPP.
gollark: One vague idea I had which will never be implemented is something like IRC but with global email-like identity and server side history.
