Can anyone identify this fish?

I picked up some amano shrimp a few days ago and this tiny baby fish managed to sneak his way into their bag. Does anyone know what it is?

I'm going to have to agree with the last post.

Hm. Well those are about the absolute best ones I could get... he moves rather quickly...

It looks a little like a baby tanganyikan cichlid of some sort....what were in the tanks near the one where you got the shrimp from?

All the shrimp came from a wall of planted tanks with some young angelfish in them, and the occasional guppy.

Its either a species of shell dwller, other small cichlid or a killifish. Either way, you're lucky as those are expensive fish!

Definatly my first thought.

Well that's cool. I don't exactly have anywhere to keep him though... I guess I'll set up something small until he gets a little larger.

Its nice to get something besides a snail for free
