Gambusia hybrid

[jamie b.]

Hello! I would like to acquire or create a Gambusia affinis/holbrooki hybrid. Preferably male holbrooki * female affinis. Anyone know where I can buy? Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum

Why do you want to hybridise them?

You can see if any pet shops sell them as live feeder fish. If not you will have to collect your own. They are a pest species around the world and found in many local creeks and streams. You can use a bait trap or net and scoop through the weeds and grasses along the banks.
*NB* Watch out for snakes if you live in a warm area.
