A native fish of [[Southeast Asia]], it has even been discovered in two hot springs in [[Singapore]]. Identified by a white-coloured spot on its head which gave it its name, the 8 cm long species tends to keep to the surface of the water, and is useful in controlling the mosquito population by feeding on its larvae. {{Cyprinodontiformes-stub}} {{Singapore-stub}} [[Category:Fauna of Southeast Asia]] [[Category:Aplocheilidae]] [[Category:Fauna of Singapore]] [[fi:Sinivaanija]]
