Characidae, the characids or characins is a family of freshwater subtropical and tropical fish, belonging to the order Characiformes. (wikipedia.org)
FishBase (2011) Characinae, recently narrowly defined, covers only twelve genera and 79 species closely related to Charax (George M.T. Mattox, Monica Toledo-Piza, "Phylogenetic study of the Characinae (Teleostei: Characiformes: Characidae)" Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 165.4:809-915, August 2012). (wikipedia.org)

Given the current state of flux of the Characidae, a number of other changes will doubtless take place, reassigning once-familiar species to other families. (wikipedia.org)
In the present work, morphometric and cytogenetic analyses were carried out in populations of the fish Astyanax fasciatus (Characidae) from Contas and Recôncavo Sul River basins (State of Bahia, Brazil), providing new data on the genetic structure of this species along the region. (scielo.br)

Related family1
The larger piranhas were originally classified as belonging to the Characidae, but various revisions place them in their own related family, the Serrasalmidae. (wikipedia.org)
Tetras1
Among those fishes that remain in the Characidae for the time being are the tetras, comprising the very similar genera Hemigrammus and Hyphessobrycon, as well as a few related forms such as the cave and neon tetras. (wikipedia.org)
Member1
The Candy Cane Tetra is a member of the Characidae Family that is often confused with the similar Rosy Tetra. (liveaquaria.com)
