Poeciliopsis presidionis is a small freshwater fish from the Poeciliidae family. It inhabits rivers and streams in arid regions of northwestern Mexico and gives birth to live young.
Poeciliopsis presidionis differs from related species by the special structure of the gonopodium in males and the ability to live in drying streams of arid regions. The species is important for the ecosystem because it eats insect larvae and serves as food for larger fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
