HI,

Found this fish in the plant tank at my LFS. Anyone know what it is? Length I would say is about 1.25" or so. They gave it to me for $.75 since they had no idea what it was or what to charge me or even where it came from (they suspect it came with either a plant or their feeder guppies).

Thanks in advance for the help!

It's related to white cloud mountain minnows! A subspecies! tanichthys micagemmae. Not seen too often. That one is a female! They sometimes call it vietnamese mountain minnow

Actually, it's a Bluefin Killifish. It's a native species that sometimes makes it's way into plant and feeder shipments.

Not sure how far you want to drive, but I work at Inland Aquatics in Terre Haute, IN, and we have quite a few....

So it is a bluefin killifish! Well it did look like a vietnamese mountain minnow when I first looked at it, just had that stressed discolored look all fish have sitting in a bag on their trip from LFS. The fins are rounded more then on A Micagammae! But hey you have to admit the similarities in both fish.
