Teleogramma
Teleogramma is an African genus of cichlids with five species. These dark and slender fish barely reach 10 cm (4 in) in length and are limited to rapids in the Western Congo River basin in DR Congo/Congo Brazzaville.[1] They are distinctive, with specialized anatomy. They are characterized by elongated heads with tubular nostrils and a lateral line that is not interrupted, as it is in most cichlids.[2]

gollark: It really depends on how you're defining that, since obviously humans are not quite the same as computers.
gollark: Perhaps you could try and remove the IR filters and ??? photography things.
gollark: Why would it not be possible? I'm pretty sure it runs on Raspberry Pis and such.
gollark: Also whatever Apple is doing.
gollark: Yes, the Cortex-X2 and such are apparently very competitive.
