The gold ones mother is a gold twinbar and the black came from a gold dust molly. I also have a Mickey mouse, 2 dalmation

Platies and mollies cannot interbreed, so you don't have hybrids.

I didn't have a male twinbar when she got pregnant and Mickey was the only 1 with my female twinbar

And my gold dust is near a dalmation and a male gold dust
By Mickey, do you mean a male mickey mouse platy? Yes, a mickey mouse platy will cross with a gold twinbar. They're not hybrids though, just different colour variations of platies.
The different colours of platies will breed with each other, and the different mollies will cross with each other, but a molly can't breed with a platy. Make sense?
I have some platy young that came from a red male mickey mouse platy, and a blue female platy. Pretty young have an orange background colour and a mickey mouse marking, but the dark blue speckles from the blue platy all over them too.
