Pseudomugilinae
The Pseudomugilidae, the blue-eyes, are a subfamily of atheriniform fish in the Melanotaeniidae,[1] related to the rainbowfishes. They inhabit fresh and brackish water in Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands.[2] Blue-eyes are small fish, typically no more than 5 cm (2.0 in) in length. Like rainbowfish, they spawn all year round, and attach their eggs to vegetation.[3]

gollark: Apparently it *does* actually ask if you want to give the device access, so if people blindly say "yes" it's just them being silly.
gollark: ... why would they do it *that* way? Does it not even say something like "would you like to allow this device access to your account: yes/no"?
gollark: I think they have *some* vague idea of economics and history, or have advisors who do, but don't care and do the good-sounding-if-you-don't-think-about-it-much thing.
gollark: I mean, if not technically FTL, they're a thing people think of when they think "FTL travel".
gollark: "Not FTL" how? I mean, they get you from A to B faster than you could with sublight travel.
