Whats up guys, stumbled across this site, been trying to figure out what kind of killifish this is, caught in sandy area on Long Island, there were mostly Striped Killifish around it seemed, yet this is appears to not have any stripes..

Second fish is a mummichog. First fish is hard to tell because of angle and missing mouth but it is likely a mummichog as well.

^thanks for the ID Dustin, so Mummis and Striped Killis school up together I guess? It was wierd because I seined through the area and seemed to get all striped Killis, in both locations these 2 fish were caught, yet the fish I caught on a little hook were Mummichogs

Yes, they do school together. Stripeds seem to prefer sandy or rocky beaches where as mummis are generalists and will occur near most of the shore line. We get them together all the time. I suppose they must be more aggressive feeders.
