Help with Saltwater Minnow ID
Hello everyone, could you please help me identify these species? They all been caught around New York City: 1. Possibly the striped killifish (Fundulus majalis), also called the striped mummichog (male and female): <a href="http://fish.aseev.com/photo/20190916141746">20190916141746</a> <a href="http://fish.aseev.com/photo/20190916134201">20190916134201</a> 2. Possibly the banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus): <a href="http://fish.aseev.com/photo/20190916140935">20190916140935</a> <a href="http://fish.aseev.com/photo/20190913145519">20190913145519</a> 3. No idea: <a href="http://fish.aseev.com/photo/20190913145131">20190913145131</a>

I see, #2 is definitely not

I see, #2 is definitely not banded killifish, and look very like mummichogs. Striped killifish pattern is so different on every specimen, so I wasn't sure - thank you for the confirmation.
