Jenynsia is a genus of freshwater fishes in the family Anablepidae. They are closely related to the four-eyed fishes (genus Anableps) and, like them, are onesided livebearers: they only mate on one side, right-"handed" males with left-"handed" females and vice versa.[1]
Unlike their cousins Anableps, their eyes are normal. The gonopodium is unscaled. The maximum length in these species is up to 12 cm in females and about 4 cm in males.[1]
