The Florida flagfish, Jordanella floridae, is a cyprinodontid endemic to peninsular Florida in the United States. It lives in shallow, weedy backwaters, marshes, canals and ditches. A long-standing aquarium favourite, it is produced commercially and wild fish are very rare outside the U.S.A. Contrary to many reports it does not dig pits or exhibit extended parental care, and breeds as a fractional spawner like other cyprinodontids.
