><{{{>I'm going to have to go with Aplocheilus Dayi Werneri, 
><{{{>sometimes referred to as Aplocheilus Werneri, on this one. I 
><{{{>have seen them in 3 out of my 7 LFSs recently, they just 
><{{{>started showing up(most always labeled as Golden Wonders, 
><{{{>even though they aren't). If i were you, I'd buy as many as 
><{{{>you could, once you get them home and get them settled, they 
><{{{>will color up and become extremely beautiful, almost an 
><{{{>oil-slick coloration to them. My LFS had 4 small ones the 
><{{{>other day at $1.45 and I'm kicking myself now for not buying 
><{{{>them :( Not sure where you can find a picture, just search 
><{{{>for the 2 names I gave you, I'm sure you'll find a picture somewhere.
