Evolved from G. cyclopsi, populations developed extensions of the spinous process of the backbone which act like a sail fin which allowed them to be maneuverable, outmaneuvering their predators, soon after more G.cyclopsi with this small fin survived, it got selected creating rigid sailfin used for to be able to stir better allowing them to outmaneuver their prey. They also travel in larger shoal to ensure safety from being eaten & allows them to be able to confuse their predator by splitting apart as a shoal then fusing back.

Found in zone 25, they get up to 6-7cm long, they swim in shoals of 100-200. They feed on L. cytosol, N. protos, O. kerensis, S. podius, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus,L. palaeacytosol and Kelpflotensa species. Their predators are A. shortatailus, A. tropheus, G. extendum, M. filtertaurus, S. kelpapygmis, S. cannibalisii, T. katharagnathus, & T. pelagicus which will feed on them however due to their reproductivity rate, it does not truly dent their population.

The males have vibrant colors, ranging from blue-green(for more camouflage) with their sails being more cyan, but the females remain a more drab brownish-pale green color with their sales being a pale blue.

When breeding each female can only lay 50 eggs(but only 4-10 survive) in vegetation when counting their numbers they can easily populate 3 times larger from one school breeding. The young fry hatched at 1cm long and would then feast on vegetation before going out to open waters when they are 4cm long.
