Supermale Mosquitofish

Pictured above is your common everyday ditch minnow. Just a mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki)but with a unique difference. The two mosquitofish pictured above are what is known as supermales! Supermales are what can sometimes occur in fish species where the male has two Y chromosomes instead of the regualar XY.
