had these in the feeder ghost tank. i thought they resembled banded killi's. but now im not so sure. i asked where they get the shrimp from and was told florida...so it could be anything i guess. i dont know much about killis. thanks guys....they are still very white...so maybe later on when they color up they will be easier to ID.

It's a Seminole killifish (Fundulus seminolis). I have several myself from a ghost shrimp tank. My oldest 2 I have had for about 1.5 years and have grown from 2 inches to about 4. In my experience, very peaceful, sometimes shy and they like to stick tightly with each other. Very cool to see that upturned mouth protrude outward when feeding from the surface.

I'll second the ID and say that they are a nice fish. They get rather larger 4-5 inches and males get some red to the fins.
