What Kind Of Fish Are These? (pics)

[GoldfishAttentionSpan]

I caught these guys and gals in a lake near my house. There are tons and tons of them, and I thought they were minnows. (We always called them minnows.) But these appear to be live-bearers- 3 have the tube like a male guppy would, and 6 appear to be females. (Funny how I caught exactly the right ratio. )

Are these wild guppies?

There were also a few black and white spotted fish- they looked like dalmation mollies from what I could tell, but I couldn't catch any, despite my best efforts.

Also, dosen't the black dot mean she is pregnant? If so, 3 are pregnant.

ETA: Before anyone asks, yes, they are seperate from my other fish.

Hard to tell but they look more like Limia's than Guppies.

you'll probably get fewer responses but more information if you ask a mod to move this to Rare Livebearers

Don't think their mosquito's. Definatley a livebearer because of the gravid spot.

Malaria

Biological control - introducing fish to eat the mosquito larvae and pupae
Gambusia affinis - often called the mosquito fish - is a small livebearing fish that is recommended in some instances as it can live in small bodies of water, although it may cause ecological damage by feeding upon other water organisms.

Yep mosquito fish! Don't you US guys ever watch the dirtiest jobs? He had thousands of them they put in peoples lakes and ponds to control the mosquitos. They're livebearing fish similar to guppies!

How cool! Looks like 3 are pregnant. What am I going to do with all the fry??

 

[mommyof2bettas]

yeah, they're gambusia imo.
EDIT-they might eat it if you give them enough time I heard they can be agressive little fish though, so watch out who you mix them with.
