Jordanella

carpio)of the two species of Floridichthys (Foster, 1967; Kaill, 1967), and the one species of Jordanella (Mertz and Barlow, 1966; Kaill, 1967).

Number of eggs released with each spawn has not been determined, but it is likely to be a single egg, as in the closely related genera Cyprinodon (Mire and Millet, 1994) and Jordanella (Mertz and Barlow, 1966).

Such territoriality has been described for Cyprinodon, Jordanella, and Floridichthys, and its presence in Cualac is mentioned by Seegers (2000) and seen both in the field (M.

aporus have been described for other North American cyprinodontids that have been studied in detail (Cyprinodon, Floridichthys, and Jordanella).

The exception is that nipping in the context of spawning is absent in Jordanella (Mertz and Barlow, 1966; Kaill 1967).

Nest tending increases mating success, sometimes: environmental effects on paternal care and mate choice in flagfish (Jordanella floridae).
