Can You Name This Fish?

[Brette]

Over the weekend I bought 4 very small fish, they might be young and I believe they were mislabeled at the store. They called them "lamp eye tetras" but when I did a search on the net, the fish didn't match up at all. Lamp eye tetras on the net have red eyes and look like..well like tetras. The fish i bought are slender, look like minnows, tiny, less than an inch long, a bit transparent and have a bright, bluish neon spot on their eyes.

I'll try to upload a picture later,
anyone have any guesses as to what it might be?

Micropanchax macrophthalmus
lampeye panchax AKA normans lampeye AKA normans killifish

A killifish and not a tetra

Doesn't sound like a killi wolfy. Sounds to me like a Vietnamese Mountain Minnow or similar.

From the description you gave it didn't sound like a killi at all!

lampeye killies are more often than not labled as lampeye tetra in shops.
