Being adventurous and with a mostly empty tank, when the lady at the LFS said "I'm not sure exactly what these are, but they snuck in with a fish shipment", I said ok. I'm cycling a tank anyway, so why not. Lesson for today: Taking pictures of moving fish is a pain in the
Exhibit 1 - pearly white fish with iridescent spots on it's sides. About 1.5 inches long, and a fast swimmer.

Exhibit 2 - There were three of these, and they all immediately disappeared. This one held still long enough for me to get a craptastic picture. They stick to the floor, and almost look like they're skittering on their fins. It's kinda freaky looking.

First looks like some sort of killi fish (or topminnow). Second looks like a goby maybe? Not fish I know anything about so that's just a
Top I'm sure is a killi and the bottom ones are a type of stiphodon goby if I'm not mistaken.
Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.
You know what this tank needs? ........................ Crypts.
The top is either a stressed mosquitofish or a killifish topminnow thing, secong id a swamp darter I think both native to florida I have mosquitofish and plan to make my tank a native tank when I upgrade
Does the first one look like this? goldentop.jpg
It does! I know, crap pictures. She did say that she thought they were Floridian. Interesting that the only fish she truly didn't know how to identify is probably the kind I wanted to look into anyway :)
Ok first is a golden topminnow or at least that's what the pic was labeld as, second is a swamp darter I think
After looking at pictures of gobies, I'm pretty sure you're right about those too. Hopefully they'll get a bit bigger or start coming out a bit more so I can get a good look at them, hehe.
Yeah I would get some florida plants for that tank, the other fish in the pic of the last fish is a black lined killifish
Good to' ...
