Reason: Grouping the various characiform fish together for ease of searching and attaching implications

Characiforms technically do have a common name in the form of 'characids', but that term can also imply the family Characidae, so I think using 'characiform' is less ambiguous.

Funnily enough, yes, the Goliath Tigerfish is indeed a tetra. It belongs to Alestidae, and that family is one of the 3 that are included under the common name of tetra

The reason I am adding a surface mexican tetra tag is so that the two forms of the species can be searched for separately. They're not technically subspecies, just different forms of the same species, interestingly enough, but I still think it should be possible to search for them separately should the need arise.

I am including trahiras here because that group has several common names, including "wolffish" which can lead to confusion and I'd rather have that sorted right off the bat.
