Anyone know what kind of fish this is?? I saw it at a petco and no one knew what it was. They kept trying to tell me it was black louch.....which it clarly is not....

It has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what it was.


Thanks

Just goes to show that people from LFS will say just about anything in order to get a sale
 
Though heaven knows how he came up with black and loach together for this golden coloured killifish :x

Yep, Golden Wonder Panchax(Aplocheilus lineatus)
Used to have a pair that spawned regularly but due to being in a community tank none of the eggs survived.
