I collected, photographed, and released this approximately 4 to 5" fish. It was collected in a lake in central FL (Peace River Watershed) with a dipnet from the bank in shallow water near a boat ramp (e.g., no SAV). The pattern on the side is clear, but the mouth (which is harder to see) seems to be down turned like a sucker. TIA for ID assistance.

I want to say Seminole Killifish. I could be wrong though. Lots or killies and Topminnows in FL, I'm sure it's a Fundulid though.

Yes, it's a Seminole Killifish. Green sides with many small black spots is diagnostic
