They look a lot like a guppy...

Are you talking about Gambusia affinis? I have never seen them in Ottawa, or anywhere in Canada, for that matter.

Never heard of them, how small are they?

Females are reported to grow to 2.5 inches, males to 1.5 inches. They look like colourless guppies.

The reason that I find them interesting is that they are supposed to tolerate all kinds of extreme conditions. They can survive in low oxygen situations and temperatures. I suspect that they could survive a Canadian winter in a pond.
