Unusual looking black molly

[Sheafferlynn]

Hi All
Just curious if anyone has ever seen a solid black molly with orange on just the tip of his tail? I found him recently at my LFS.

Welcome to R2R, @Sheafferlynn !
Are you referring to something like this picture?
I have black mollies in a freshwater tank and they have orange marks on the tail tips like the above picture, especially the males. I think this is pretty common.

Welcome to r2r!
Mollies come in all sorts of colors, so it doesn’t surprise me that this one came up.

Welcome! Glad you joined

Now I'm going to have to wonder across the aisle at my LFS and look at freshwater side (where the mollies live... even though they can go brackish/salt)

Uh, that's a MISTER Molly... ;)

Yes, it is! And its a male! Apparently only 1 in 10,000 are male... and the males are sterile!
