Striped Killifish
Fundulus majalis
Size: to 6"
Habitat: Generally inshore in harbors, inlets, and other quiet waters. Tolerates a wide range of salinities.
Notes: The largest and most attractive of the many species of killifish in the New Jersey area. The male is above, the female below.
Unlike their delicate cousins the Silversides, local killies are tough as nails, and can often survive several days in nothing more than cool damp seaweed.
