Popis: The Pecos gambusia (Gambusia nobilis) and the Comanche Springs pupfish (Cyprinodon elegans) are federally listed as endangered, and they inhabit Phantom Lake Spring, the headwaters of the Balmorhea Springs Complex in western Texas. We censused both species to update their current status within Phantom Lake Spring, and we sought to determine whether the introduced largespring gambusia (G. geiseri) or any G. nobilis-G. geiseri hybrids were present in the spring.
