Females carry the eggs within themselves for a little less than a month, after which they immediately give birth to independent fry. That is, Gambusia is a viviparous fish! For the Black Sea region, as for many other countries, the introduction of mosquito fish into the local fauna was quite successful. At least no one died because of them. But in Australia, things are much worse with these fish. Local reservoirs were also densely populated with mosquito larvae, and malaria also haunted people, but the balance there turned out to be very fragile. Yes, mosquito fish began to exterminate the larvae, but they quickly included caviar of endemic fish, frogs and fry in the list of main dishes. Do you remember that mosquito fish themselves are extremely adaptable survivors? So, they tried everything to get them out! They even jammed it with electricity - so they turned out to be resistant to this! Therefore, in Australia, mosquito fish did not become a solution to the problem, but on the contrary, they created new problems. - - - - - We have a huge group, which is 11 years old and there are many zoologists who write tons of text every day from the field in which they are specialists.
