Identification Help

[inrewind]

Bought this at Yun Feng Tampines. Looks suspiciously like a type of rainbowfish but I am definitely not sure. Could anyone help with the identification? Much appreciated. Thank you guys!

Nope, i dont think its a rainbowfish. It should be Oryzias Latipes.

Thanks Lucasjiang! I had a feeling it wasn't a rainbowfish as I troughed through the Internet last night. I suspected that it was a type of killifish but just couldn't find out which particular one. I think you identified correctly. Thanks again!

Not Oryzias latipes, but a young Oryzias woworae, probably female. The markings are distinctive of female woworae. They are not killifish but related closer to halfbeaks and flying fish.

I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure who's right. One thing for sure, it's not a type of rainbowfish. They seem to be peaceful and a good combination with my gertrudaes & furcatas.

Thanks Stormhawk!

Have you guys seen any males O. woworae before? They are such lovelies, would love to have a few to complement the females I already have.
