Heterandria Formosa
''Heterandria formosa'' (known as the least killifish, dwarf topminnow, mosqu or midget livebearer) is a species of livebearing fish within the family Poeciliidae. This is the same family that includes familiar aquarium fishes such as guppies and mollies. ''Heterandria formosa'' is not as commonly kept in aquaria as these species. Despite the common name "least killifish", it belongs to the family Poeciliidae and not to one of the killifish families. ''H. formosa'' is one of the smallest fish species; the 1991 ''Baensch Aquarium Atlas'' listed it as the 7th smallest fish in the world, and it remains the smallest fish species found in North America. Range and habitat ''Heterandria formosa'' is the only member of its genus found in the United States. Its geographical range spans the southeastern United States, from South Carolina south to Georgia and Florida, and westward across the Florida Gulf Coast to Louisiana. In recent years, this species has been collected in eas ...
