Comments: Poecilia mexicana is primarily a freshwater fish though it can be found at salinities up to 36 psu. Its native<br />

range is the Atlantic Slope from Rio San Juan, Mexico to Guatemala. Carlton and Eldredge (2009) state that the invader<br />

in Hawaii is a hybrid, P. salvatoris x mexicana. The introduced population in Southern California is in the Salton Sea.<br />
