Yeah they do. Just not as colorful tails and the females are larger than the males. They are fun little fish. I will occasionally feed them freeze dried tubifex worms and they attack the cube like a school of pirahna.

They are both part of the Poecilidae family, so they are related.

family genus species
Guppy Poecilidae Poecilia P. reticulata
Mosquito Fish Poecilidae Gambusia G. affinis

They could probably live in tanks, but they need real sunlight at least part of the day. When my pond was shaded full time, they did not do well.
