The Kurter-like (Kurtiformes) are a bony fish order from the group of perch relatives (Percomorphaceae). They are mostly small fish that live on the bottom or near the ground in the sea near the coast, more rarely in brackish water or in fresh water near the coast. The Kurtiformes only include two families of fish, the Kurter (Kurtidae) from which they are named and the Cardinalfish (Apogonidae) with over 25 genera and around 350 species. The close relationship between these two families is based exclusively on molecular biological studies. The sister group of the Kurtiformes are the goby-like (Gobiiformes).

features

Both Kurter and Cardinalfish are laterally flattened and almost always more or less high-backed fish. Fraser is in his description of Kardinalbarsch genus Taeniamia not recognize common characteristics of the two groups of fishes, but in 1993 the American noted ichthyologist G. David Johnson is a remarkable similarity between the upper gill computing elements (dorsal gill-arch elements) of Kurtus and those of cardinal fish. In 2006, the Russian ichthyologist AM Prokofiev pointed out the similar abdominal ribs and anal fin pterygiophores of Kurtus and a species of cardinal fish ( Archamia bleekeri ) and suggested that the fish are closely related. Another common feature are the filament-equipped eggs, which are thereby connected to one another to form a loose mass and can thus be carried along by the kurtus males on their supraoccipital humps at the back of the head until the young fish hatch, while the connected egg lump allows the male cardinalfish to mouth brood facilitated.
