What Is This Fish?

[ReiRei]

So, after counting my fish this morning I realised I had a mystery fish.
Too large for a swordtail,
Too rounded for a Molly. (This is compared to my other mollies and swordtails)
 
Help?
Quite curious now.

I'm new to fish - So sorry if this is a silly question with a obvious answer

Looks to be a Molly.

I have one of these its a molly

 

[ReiRei]

Thanks!
My other mollies were just so different to it I wasn't sure if it was one or not. xD

 

[88Carrie]

yeah I have 4 mollies in my tank and one of them is huge compared to the others

I think you'll find that's a mickey mouse platy.

 

[ReiRei]

Mygod, You're right! o: Now I really need to change my signature lol. Don't know what it was doing in a tank of Mollies at the Fish Shop. D:

 

[fluttermoth]

Ah, fish are always getting into the wrong tanks at LFS

 

[ReiRei]

Yeah, I know they jump across - But there weren't any nearby Platy tanks haha. Oh well, it's still a nice calm fish - It's been socialising fine with the others.

OMG it's a platy!

Defo a Mickey Mouse Platys look at the tail

If its large, it probably is a mickey mouse swordtail - platy and swords can interbreed.

Well, yes that is true; most LFS platies and swordtails are actually hybrids these days.

 

[helterskelter]

Yes the can cross breed and this has been exploited for over 50 years.
This is your typical platy body shape, being compressed lateral. While it may have X. hilleri gene's it's still platy body shape, so classed as a platy.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

The body looked a bit more elongated to me, but it might just be the angle. 
 
Its probably a hybrid (are there any pure platys or pure swords even in the trade anymore?).
