Speckled mosquitofish
The speckled mosquitofish or the one-spot livebearer (''Phalloceros caudimaculatus'') is a species of fish native eastern and southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.〔 It has also been introduced to Australia, Malawi and New Zealand; primarily for mosquito control, but also as escapees from the aquarium trade.〔 It has been reported as having adverse ecological effects in areas where it has been introduced.〔 The females of this species grow to a length of TL.
== Origins ==
This species originated in South America. It is mainly a freshwater fish and thrives best in areas with weak water flow.〔 However, it is extremely adaptable and can thrive in a multitude of altered environments.〔 For example, the mosquitofish can thrive in temperatures as low as 5°C.〔 The species also has a high fecundity.
This speckled mosquito fish was one of the first in its family to be bred for aquarium usage.〔 Ecologists also attempted to use the fish as a mosquito control; however, the mosquito fish's diverse diet affected its efficacy as a control species.〔 The mosquito fish can eat a range of different organisms, including algae.〔
