Heterandria formosa - Dwarf Livebearer

The photo to the left shows one of my Hets fry, a female, and to the right an adult fish.

Some common names are Mosquito Fish, Dwarf Top-Minnow, Dwarf Livebearer, Least Killifish, Lesser Killifish, "Hets" and Pygmy Livebearer.

This species don't have that much colour, but they are pretty, nice and gentle... And extremely small.

I've actually had this species before, that's why I was looking for this little fish.

Mine are mainly fed live food, often newly hatched brine shrimp...
