Cyprinoidei

Cyprinoidei is a suborder, or superfamily, of primarily pelagic, freshwater ray-finned fishes nestled within the larger order Cypriniformes. Many fishes in this group include the carps, danionins, and minnows, and are readily found and raised in aquaculture owing to their hardiness and tolerance of extreme water parameters. Cyprinoidei was formerly a monotypic grouping only containing a single large family, the Cyprinidae, but this has now been divided into a number of many sister taxa.
