Small fish ranging from about 1-2 inches. Tan-brownish in color. Picture of habitat is attached. Lives in fresh water. Somewhat translucent.
I haven't been much of a fish guy in my life to date. I know the bigger ones -- the ones you like to eat... But the little'uns? No clue. Hoping to turn that around and learn a thing or two. So, having said that, any idea what this tiny little bugger may be? It was snagged at Grand Bay WMA in south Georgia (with a small dip net). The fish is, of course, very, very small. Also very lovely. (And yes, the fish was returned safely to the water... it wasn't quite a keeper...)

The Cyprinodontiformes (pronounced /ËŒsaɪprɨnɵˌdÉ’ntɨˈfÉâ€rmiËÂz/) is an order of ray-finned fish, comprising mostly small, fresh-water fish. Many popular aquarium fish, such as killifish and live-bearers, are included. They are closely related to the Atheriniformes and are occasionally included with them. A colloquial term for the order as a whole is toothcarps, though they are not actually close relatives of the true carps – the latter belong to the superorder Ostariophysi, while the toothcarps are Acanthopterygii.
