Not sure if fish #3 is the same as the first two. Caught in Tampa, Fl.
Any help would be appreciated as always.

Maybe, Fundulus confluentus?

I'm not familiar with the F. confluentus, but it kind of looks like a gulf killifish F. grandis to me (although admittedly, I've only seen about two or three of these in person).

Most likely Fundulus grandis...where around Tampa did you catch them? I used to live there...

From Noel Burkhead's photo, I would definitely say Fundulus grandis.

Habitat is key here.....F. grandis is pretty abundant in lower estuary/tidal portions, F. confluentus is found further upstream in vegetated marshy areas. But these photos are defnintely grandis.
