Leptolucania ommata, the Pygmy killifish, is a species of North American killifish found only in the southeastern United States. This fish is also found in the aquarium trade. This species grows to a length of 3 centimetres (1.2 in) TL. They are yellow with gold and blue-green towards the tail. While men have a small dark spot at the base of their tail, females tend to have one at the base of their tail, and one at the midpoint of their body.[3] It is the only known member of its genus.[2] The pygmy killifish was formally described by David Starr Jordan as Heterandria ommata in 1884, the type locality being given as Indian River, Florida.[4]
