Fish in Canal

[Tseros7768]

I found these little fish that with the internet i almost identified them as bass fry. how do i care for these and r they bass or not? they were in a canal drainage tube with many other ones like them

They look like a livebearer?

That is no bass fry, that is either Gambusia affinis (western) or Gambusia holbrooki (eastern) better know as mosquitofish. They are a live bearer and should be cared for the same as you would guppies or endlers.

Definetly mosquito fish. I wonder if they can get colorful like guppies.

Nope they are pretty much tan/grey.

Yeah, mosquitofish are all pretty much grey with a little bit of black.

In AZ there is a native livebearer called a gila topminnow, the males are black.
