Can you identify this fish?

Post by mewickham »

A photographer's website has a photo listed as the least killifish (Heterandria formosa), but it is some other species. Does anyone have an ID of this fish? I let the photographer know that he has the fish misidentified, but would like to be able to help him with a correct identification.

Here is the photo:

Looks like a female Bluefin Killifish, Lucania goodei.

Michael may be right, but the photo is a little over exposed so it is hard to tell.

Thanks, guys. That was my closest guess, as well. I'll pass the info on to the photographer.
