My first guess, with the red in the caudal, as O. mekongensis?

It can't be Oryzias mekongensis. O. mekongensis is a much smaller fish, only 15 - 21 mm. My fish is 40+ mm.

Body shape of O. mekongensis differs from my fish.

O. mekongensis has 15 - 16 anal-fin rays, my fish has 19 rays.

If you just look at O. mekongensis picture you will see it's a different species.
