Today I bough what was labled as a female dalmation molly. But she was neon orange. So I started to wonder if she even was a Molly and decided to ask for help. I cant seem to get a good picture of her but if you look up a red dalmation molly on google images thats her except with black spots and a little rounder. She not pregnat I checked into that first. If anyone can telly me what my fish is Please do!!
 
Mollies come in many colors, orange being one of them (creamsicle). A pic would be best, since you're not sure and platies look very similar to mollies if you're new to fish. If it's a female and she's been in the same tank as a male for even 5 min, she's pregnant.
 
She was the only molly in her tank. the only other fish were female guppies and a male betta. And the reason I cant get a picture is my email wont load the picture. Its so frustrating.

This is her almost. Just add black spots along her top and a black band that fans along her tail and a tiney bit rounder in the chest Like a balloon molley but not as big.
 
I'd say she's a mix of a dalmation molly and creamicle molly, which are just two color variations of the same species. I have very similar mollies.
 
Yeah, I know what ya mean. I still confuse mollies with platies on occasion, especially the youngsters.
