BikBok Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 well they look like guppies to me. Gambusia have different placement of their fins. In guppy's the dorsal and anal fin are pretty much in line /opposite each other. In gambusia the dorsal fin is set further back. Take a look and see if I'm right. The gambusia i see at our local ponds definitely have different fin placement and look different to plain guppies and wildtypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismart120 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Haha, good to see that the picture has been changed and that its been confirmed to be guppies, it did have me confused for a bit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 thought gambusia was an unwanted organism? http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=421248807 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
