We had one that was about 18" in a 4000 gallon display tank at an lfs that I used to work at.

Here's something that's not quite as big.

A rivulidea, brackish so odds are it is the Mangrove rivulas, distinguished by being a self fertilizing hermanphradite, was Rivulas marmoratus but is now listed as Kryptolebias marmoratus.

These guys are typically seen in saltwater but are known to spend time in brackish water when young:
