Discussion
Gambusia Affinis and Poecilia Reticulata, recently seen in the news, are species of which of the following ?
Answer: D
They are species of Fish.
Gambusia affinis is the mosquitofish and Poecilia reticulata is the guppy. Both are small fish that eat mosquito larvae, and they have been released into ponds and tanks in several Indian states as a biological control against malaria and dengue, which is why they appeared in the news.
The practice is also debated, because both are non-native species that can harm local fish and amphibians. They are not birds, insects or reptiles.
