I would like to get an id on him. From the shape of the fins and body I reckon it's a Killi of some sort. It's a greenish/yellowish body a little like a Golden Wonder but doesn't have that flat top body. About an inch long. Most noticable feature is the eyes which are an incredibly bright blue/green, even though he's only an inch long the eyes can be seen across the room ! bensaf attached this image: Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.
