Plural of characid; multiple fish species belonging to the family Characidae found primarily in freshwater ecosystems of South America and Africa.
Plural form of 'characid.' The diversity of this family is so great it encompasses hundreds of species from tiny tetras to large predatory fish.
Characids radiated into such wildly different forms that people didn't realize the cute gold tetra and the bloodthirsty piranha were cousins until modern genetic testing proved they were family.
