Here are some pics of some fish I found in the feeder tanks at the petstore today.
My best guess is Banded Killifish Fundulus diaphanus, Swamp Darter Etheostoma fusiforme, and (this is a wild guess) Green Sunfish Lepomis cyanellus(??) Do yooz guys think I'm in the right ballbark with these? These guys were still a little stressed out at the time of the pictures, so they are washed out a bit.

My guesses are:

Seminole Killifish (Fundulus seminolis)
Swamp Darter as you said
Redear Sunfish (Lepomis microlophus)

I'm not positive on the first one though

ooh! I never considered a Seminole, I think you may be right....especially since it came from the pet trade, and they usually breed feeders in the south.
It would make sense with a swamp darter too.
Thanks for the ID on the Red Ear. ("I had a Red Ear once, but the doctor gave me some drops for it.")
All of these ranges overlap, so that is quite a good ID I'd say.
