Nandopsis
Nandopsis is a small genus of cichlid fishes found in lakes, streams and rivers in Cuba and Hispaniola. If disregarding Trinidad and Tobago (where the few native cichlids are members of genera that are widespread on the South American mainland), Nandopsis are the only cichlids native to the Antilles.

gollark: Go literally will not let you write it in a well-typed way.
gollark: At least JS actually has `map`!
gollark: Not really. I'm not good at it.
gollark: Node.js might be bad, but at least it isn't Go.
gollark: I assume they mean "low runtime cost and not too high compile time cost".
