Etymology: Clinostomus: Greek, klinein, kline = sloping and bed, due to the four apophyses of sphenoid bone + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); funduloides: From the words clino-- inclined, stomus-- mouth and funduloides, meaning Fundulus-like (Ref. 10294).

Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos anales: 9. Clinostomus funduloides can be distinguished by the following characters: complete decurved lateral line with 43-57 lateral scales; anal fin with 9 rays; pharyngeal teeth 2,5-4,2; mouth large and oblique; snout long and pointed; caudal fin large and forked; small scales; dorsal fin origin behind pelvic fin origin. Compressed boy, olive above, dark stripe along back, dark-edged scales on upper side; green to yellow-gold stripe (brightest on large individuals) above dusky stripe along silver side; scattered dark blotches on side of large individuals; white, orange or red lower side; breeding male has dark blue above, bright brick red lower side. Similar to Clinostomus elongatus, Luxilus chrysocephalus and L. cornutus (Ref. 86798).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits rocky flowing pools of headwaters, creeks and small rivers. Usually occurs in small clear streams (Ref. 86798).
