I can currently spend a whole day netting and come up with 10- 15 topminnows in this particular river. So you can see that they are just hanging on by a thread anyway.

I ALWAYS find Gambusia in association with ANY kind of topminnows, but most particularly blackstripe/spotted. It appears that they coexist quite well.

Quite likely in areas where they are both indigenous, and the food sources fit the bill for both species. But I am concerned with our introduced Gambusia. Will the food base support both fish? Will the livebearer out compete the egglayer? I am now finding more gambusia in a days collecting than topminnows. I really do not like these fish. My sons have learned to immediately recognize, and dispatch the gambusia. Last week my 6 year old son reached into the seine, grabbed a fish, slammed it on the bank. I said "what are you doing?" he said "gambusia" I had to laugh!I ALWAYS find Gambusia in association with ANY kind of topminnows, but most particularly blackstripe/spotted. It appears that they coexist quite well.
