What are these wild fish?


Local fish store near me keeps a tank full of feeder fish. Now, my housemate thinks my tetras and danios are feeder fish, like I somehow got tricked.. I look it up, actually feeder fish are small and undesirable specimens of ordinary tropical fish and goldfish.
What kind of fish are teh feeder fish? I ask. “”Oh, those are gambusia”" I get told. LOL. They could’ve taken a net down to the local creek and filled their tank in a minute or two.
I understand that actually gambusia are an invasive species that came from peoples’aquariums. Why on earth anyone’d want them in their aquariums. Maybe they were left over feeder fish?
