I was cathing glass shrimp for my tank and when I got home i found this little guy on the bucket mixed with the plants and shrimp, hes very happy in the tank.

Looks like a Bluefin Killifish to me.

Absolutely, Lucania goodei. They are wonderful little fish, but will not readily take flake foods, if at all. If you can give them frozen or live food they are great in a tank. That is a male, and probably about as drab as he will ever be. They are beautiful when they color up.

Thanks, they are Lucania goodei, I have a native tank and there are some gambusia that take flakes, hes starting to get interest on the flakes but he need to catch them from the sand.
