Hi Jon,
A couple of the PetSmarts in our area are also carrying the "Golden
Wonder Killie" (for a very reasonable price of less than $2.00 a
fish), and Harry Spretch is right; it is an Aplocheilus Lineatus
"Gold". The ones I saw are still juveniles ... or at least will get
a lot bigger. And if they are like the ones I have, as they mature
you may also notice a reddish coloration in the margins of the fins
--especially the caudal and anal fins.
Hope that helps.
Alberto
