The Guppy Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 (Poeciliidae): a New Fish Species for Zimbabwe

Brian Gratwicke

Abstract

A population of feral guppies was discovered in a dam in the Mazowe valley. This is the first record of a wild population of this species in Zimbabwe and it should therefore be added to the list of fishes known from the country. It is a potentially harmful invasive species, but its ecological impact in Zimbabwean waters is unknown. Transactions of the Zimbabwe Scientific Association Vol. 74 2000: 14-15
