Thanks guys and after looking at minnnt's link it is killifish.

I know this part of the forum is to do with photo's etc but do you know if these guys have been known to take chunks out of the tails of guppies and danios?

I believe killifish can be aggressive...

Compatibility:

This is a robust killi that can be kept with others, but is not a fish for the general community. Species that inhabit different levels of the tank than the killis make the best tankmates, such as Corydoras catfish, peaceful dwarf cichlids or Loricariids. Male F. g. gardneri are very aggressive towards one another and sufficient space must be provided if more than one is to be kept. Females should be kept in small groups of 2 or 3 per male as they may be harassed quite vigorously by the males.
