Guppy Identification

[Jaxom_Ruatha]

Could anyone please recommend a site for me to identify the species of the guppies sold to me as "Mosquito fish?" I realize that there are many different species of guppy sold as mosquito fish, but every site I find is only informative about fancy guppies, does anyone know a site where I might be able to identify the species of the guppy I have?

Mosquito fish are livebearers, so it's possible that you have a mosquito fish and not a guppy. They are similar in looks and i am not sure about any distinguishable features.

Mosquito fish here in the states are Gambusia affinis and holbrooki. Typically the fish re gray to very pale yellow with the scales well outlined with darker pigments. The belly is silver. Typically a black bar will be found running subocular and overall the body and caudal fin may be speckled with black. It is common for holbrooki males to exhibit melanism. The two species are generally identified by looking at the gonopodium, and counting of dorsal and anal fin rays.

Thanks for all your help, during my research I had come across those sights also. I have given up on finding out, since they seem to be doing fine and are growing quickly. Mine are all grey with two parallel light yellow stripes going down most of their body, following the shape of their body.
