A killifish is any of various small, mainly oviparous (egg-laying) cyprinodont fish (order Cyprinodontiformes, family Cyprinodontidae). The name killifish is derived from the Dutch word "kilde", meaning small creek, puddle.
Most killies are small fish, one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm). The largest is under six inches (15 cm), but only a few species are this large. Although killifish is sometimes used as an English equivalent to Cyprinodontidae, some species belonging to this family have their own common names, such as the pupfish and the mummichog.
