Pseudaminae
The Pseudaminae is a subfamily of ray-finned fishes, one of two subfamilies of the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are characterised by having large caniform teeth which are placed on the on dentary and premaxillae, by having the lateral line absent or incomplete, by having no scales or if scales are present they are cycloid. One species, Gymnapogon urospilotus, is notable for its larvae being rather large and fast-swimming.[2]

gollark: Possibly.
gollark: No.
gollark: It keeps clogging up with spare maple wood.
gollark: This is my phyto-gro machine. It will probably break in a few minutes when some ratios get out of balance, and it's drawing something like 200RF/t.
gollark: Well, if I can find some diamonds and make a quarry to obliterate a chunk or two, maybe some will turn up.
