Fundulidae (Topminnows and killifishes)
Etymology: Fundulus: Latin, fundus = bottom; a peculiar name for a topminnow, coined for a bottom species of Atlantic coast being "the abode of the fundulus mudfish" (Ref. 45335); olivaceus: From the Latin word Fundus=bottom, the habitat; olivaceus (Latin)=olive-colored (Ref. 79012).

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 27139); common length : 7.5 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 12193)
Inhabits near surface of quiet to flowing water, usually near margins of clear, sandy to gravelly headwaters, creeks and small rivers. 9.7 cm max TL (Ref. 5723). Feeds on terrestrial arthropods, aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and diatoms (Ref. 10294). Spawning occurs over gravel (Ref. 79012). Not a seasonal killifish. Is easy to maintain in the aquarium (Ref. 27139).
