There are thought to be two main subspecies of Death Valley pupfish (C. salinus and C. milleri) present. These are both considered endangered since they are only found in one area of the world. Cyprinodon pachycephalus live in extremely hot waters, 114 °F (45.5 °C). The Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) is a specific species native to ...

Comanche Springs pupfish are currently found in a system of interconnected springs near Balmorhea, Texas: Phantom Lake Spring in Jeff Davis County, Texas, and San Solomon Springs, and Giffin Spring, as well as Toyah Creek, in Reeves County, Texas. [9] Base water flow for these springs comes from the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system.
Additionally, hybrid populations have been reported to have increased growth-rates and vigor , resulting in Pecos pupfish females to actively choose to mate with hybrids over pure male Pecos pupfish. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Given this, conservation efforts have been difficult and efforts are being made to prevent C. variegatus from entering into isolated ...
