In the US, four-eyed fish are sold as Anableps anableps, but whether or not they are truly this species is unknown (to me at least!).

Thats a quote from nmonks!

Surely he'd know

[Miss Wiggle]

sorry merry, neither of them

it's on fishbase with a scientific name that's not Anableps anableps

anableps is the genus, just need the species now.

Every site I've been on as it as Anableps anableps

The genus is Anablepidae, I think
