Pseudophallus mindii, also known as the freshwater pipefish is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae[1]. They can be found in freshwater coastal rivers and mangrove estuaries ranging from Belize to Brazil [2]. Members of this species can grow to lengths of 16 cm and their diet likely consists of small crustaceans[2][3]. Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which the males brood eggs before giving live birth [4][5].
