Description
Gambusia punctata, the Cuban Blue-Eyed Gambusia hails from Cuba as the common name indicates. Unlike its relative, G. affinis, the Mosquito Fish, this fish is peaceful. Females are large, growing to three inches (~8cm). Males reach about 2/3 that size and are much slimmer. Both sexes have baby blue eyes. Males sometimes sport yellowish fins. Conditions suitable for guppies, swordtails, and platies are perfect for this fish.
We got this species from from Ivan Dibble May 2008. It was collected from a river 7km (~4.5 miles) east of Correlillo, Cuba by Don Kenwood March 2005.
