Phallostethinae
Phallostethinae is a subfamily of fishes, one of two subfamilies in the family Phallostethidae, the priapumfishes. The species in this subfamily are characterised mainly by having highly protrusible jaws. The genus Neostethus appears to be the sister taxon to the other two genera in the subfamily. The species in the Phallostethinae are found in south-east Asia, the Malay Archipelago and the Philippines.[2]

gollark: You're modelling the urine as if it has 0 velocity and just magically appears at a point then accelerates downward, in which case... it obviously can't go anywhere but right below where it appears.
