I'm starting to wonder if my molly is actually a molly. She's been in tanks with males several times, both at the store and my house, and has never been pregnant - the males I've had don't even pursue or seem interested in her even though she pesters them for attention. She's also slightly smaller / more vertically compressed than my other female and has her dorsal fin in a different location. She's "tuxedo" colored, which I've only ever seen in platys before. I hear mollies and platys can't cross-breed, so while I initially thought she might be some sort of mule, she may just be a rather large platy - anyone know how to tell for sure? The other female is pregnant yet again, and it made me start wondering why the tuxedo's never had babies.
edit: here's a photo, the top one's definitely a female molly, the mystery fish is on the bottom left. See the major difference in dorsal fin size/shape? Her head is also a slightly different shape.
