A Killifish I.d. Of Course

[Rex740]

Hey guys, I went dipnetting and caught some fish for my aquarium here in south florida and caught a few species of killifish. I thought one of them was a Fundulus Chrysotus as he was very light colored with some spots on him just like a Fundulus C, plus Fundulus C are somewhat common here. After a week I have noticed that it is becoming greyish/brown in color and is probably not a Fundulus C. Can anyone ID this little guy? Thank You.

Female? So what does the male look like?

 

[BigC]

There are a few populations of the species
namely
Gates Creek
Crystal River
Loop Road, Big Cypress Natural Reserve
All seem to have a dark speckled back with multiple dark stripes on the flanks and speckled fins
the females have the spot at the back end of the dorsal.
Loop road location has orange red fins and is a striking fish. Size to 8cms.
Hope that helps
