I got this sunfish and killifish from feeder tanks at a LFS. Also got 5 least killifish on the same day. I dont think the killi is a banded, since the nose is so long. Also, I'm guessing that the juvi sunfish is a bluegill. You'll see some of my gambusia feeding, too. Sorry for the poor video quality.

Difficult to be absolutely sure, but the killie appears to be a seminole.

I just googled the seminole killifish and it looks correct. The odd thing is the seminole and least killifish are not native to SE Virginia and the feeders are local bred or caught. Now, I just gotta get him to eat prepaired foods.

I would bet they came in with ghost shrimp and the staff just stuck them in as feeders.

Seminoles are a common vagrant in shipments out of Florida. As soon as I read the thread title I knew it was seminole...

Some of the fish did come in with the ghost shrimp. The least killifish were in the guppy tanks. I also spotted some little Monterrey platyfish in there.
The seminole is cool and much calmer than banded killies.
Any idea on the sunfish? It has an eyespot on the dorsal along with some white outlines on most of the fins.
