Mystery Epiplatys



Hello, I just bought 5 of what I'm pretty sure are an Epiplatys species from 
Petsmart.  Only thing is, I don't know which one they are.  They were billed 
as "Golden Wonder Killifish" and I'm pretty sure they're Epilplatys b/c of 
the set back dorsal fin and the underslung mouth, plus, they look like 
Epiplatys fasciolatus, except for their coloration.  Hell, I don't even know 
if I've got a couple of females in there, I only suspect so b/c of their 
slightly more drab coloration.  Anyway, their fins are mainly yellow, but a 
translucent yellow, and their bodies give off yellow, greens and 
turqoise/shimmery blue.  They've got black lips, and are about an inch and a 
half long right now.  I've got them in pH 7.0, medium hardness and they're 
just fine.  They're in a fifteen gallong and feed readily.  So, my question 
is:  What do I have?  I looked at the Epiplatys gallery, and while I thought 
that I had E. fasciolatus, I am apparently wrong looking at the AKA's pic of 
it.  Thanks in advance!
