Chromosomes of Poecilia mexicana mexicana, one of the bisexual species involved in the hybrid origin of the unisexual teleost fish species P. formosa, were analysed by several staining techniques. Sex-specific, differential heterochromatin, found in other congeneric species, was not observed in P. m. mexicana. Nucleolar organizer regions were polymorphic among individual specimens within a given population sample. A single specimen exhibiting intraindividual variability of chromosome pair 1 and a specimen with a triploid karyotype are also described.
