This guy got scooped up with some ghost shrimp that I was buying as feeders for my little Fire eel. He is about 1.25".

Anyway I can't figure out what the heck he is, I asked the owner of the LFS I got him at and he said maybe a Dace, maybe he came from where they get the shrimp from in Florida or something but I couldn't find anything like him from searching online... He is a really neat little guy, I have him in my community tank with some tetras and cory cats. He is super curious and fun to watch, and his colors are pretty neat actually. Anyway if anyone knows what he might be or where to look I would really appreciate it.
 
Bluefin Killifish, common stowaway in ghost shrimp tanks. Sometimes this fish has a nickname known as Florida Blue Dace. It isn't related to daces or any minnows anyways.

Great community fish and very peaceful species. I owned them in the past, they are fun fish to keeping in 10gal tank. BTW you have a male bluefin killfish.
