Mosquitofish
Explanation:
Gambusia affinis

Mosquitofish are renowned for their ability to eat large numbers of mosquito larvae and thus are aptly named. This ability led to their introduction into many countries where mosquitoes were perceived to be a problem, resulting in mosquitofish possibly being the most widespread fish in the world today.
