any killie experts here who can ID this fish?

I was at Scales over the weekend and picked up a pair of killies they had in one of their tanks on the back wall. They had them labeled simply as "Striped Killies" which don't really help much. (I did a fair amount of Google searching for "Striped Killiefish" and only found one species, which is mostly silver & black and doesn't look at all like what I have.)

SO...anyone have an idea on what this is? I'm guessing it's some species of Fundulopanchax but a quick browse through some online killie galleries hasn't netted me a match yet.

P.S. -- I got both a male and a female so with any luck, I'll have some fry to bring to a meeting a month or two from now.

Don't know, but know a guy that would. Larry Tagrin from PVAS breeds out tons of killies. Will send him the pics in the next few days.

Thanks Dave, I'd appreciate that greatly! I have a few other pics (almost as good as the one above) if that would help. I also have one (so-so) pic of the female, though she looks to me just like most killie females look...body a silveryish color with just a slight pinkish or purplish hue and a little speckling of color.

Aphyosemion striatum.

I have a bunch. They usually show up at the PVAS auction.

Concur on Eugen's ID. Had a trio myself before the move.

Cool, thanks. Makes me figure probably someone locally who breeds them sold them to Scales.

Wow, what lovely coloration. Good luck with them.

Aphyosemion striatum... too late, lol.

Keep a tight cover on their tank.

IIRC that is the fish that is the on the PVAS logo.
