Gambusia (presumably G. holbrooki) are abundant in brackish ditches and creeks where I am right now on the Outer Banks, NC. I wouldn't think they were imported; nobody stocks skeeterfish in saltwater, right? G. affinis are immensely abundant in any floodplain stream, swamp, or reservoir margin in about the western third of Tennessee. They thin out a bit east of there and may be introduced in the upland areas.
Hi Newt,
Where are you in the Outer Banks? I was in Nags Head back in June and saw gambusia in all of the small ponds/ditches in the Nags Head area.
To the original poster: I am in Lancaster County, PA and I also have a source for gambusia from a local lake. They are definitely invasive here.
