Default identifying a fish


Check out
http://www.australianrainbowfish.com...shes_index.htm
and follow the threadfin link on the left. The fish at the top look
close to yours.
Also from another good site

I found a fish in a LFS that I've never seen before, and unfortunately
they didn't have too much information about them,

Good pics. This is a threadfin (Iriatherina werneri), although the fins
look weird to me. I haven't seen this kind of fins before, they look too
"thready". Normally the fin rays are more connected to each others like

I think this might be the correct fish, even though I agree with your
observation about the fins. The ones I have actully look like they have 5
fins - first dorsal round and smallish, the other 4 following where there
shouldn't be any fins, but where this one has 4. As there are 3 males, and
all are the same I don't hink it's a matter of the fins being split by
disease or nipping either.
