ok, my question:
I am a nasty little livebearer. I am often mistaken for another fish. I have two common names although one of them is actually part of my scientific name. What am I?

 

[WILDER]

Molly

It's impossible for me to think of a nastly livebearer... some snakehead maybe?

 

[WILDER]

Mollys are moody and nasty, but can't think of what type of molly is the worst.

 

[mommyof2bettas]

[WILDER]

Don't you start with the tongue smillie as well.

 

[prankster705]

some halfbeak? goodeid?

 

[mommyof2bettas]

those two are wrong as well

I've got to go- the answer was gambusia affinis, its 2 common names were gambusia and mosquitofish

 

[prankster705]

limia tridens?

EDIT: bah darn mosquito fish... although the above answer matches your question as well...

and gambusia aren't nasty... except to mosquito larvae lol
