Well I just got a job a t a KOA in the outer banks of NC. Just
as I got here they started construction on a 49 room lodge and began to fill in
two "ponds" well as the water has diminished I have dipnetted some of the
residents. Seems there is a lot of spotted Gambusia in this pond, both
males and females are spotted. There is also some type of killi I cannot
identify. It is about an inch long with black dot about midway up the
first ray of the dorsal fin, the caudal fin is a reddish color, and it has a
dark line running the length of its body, (only slightly darker than its olive
green body. I also caught some scuds (they are everywhere) a few grass shrimp
and what looks like a baby Blue Crab about 1" in width with the typical paddle
feet and pointed carapace.
How common are the spotted gambusia...these have spots over
most of heir body like pepper.
