Shortfin Molly
Poecilia mexicana
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A wild-type molly species native to Mexico and Central America with a natural, unmodified short-finned body shape and olive-grey to tan coloration with iridescent scales — the ancestor of many popular molly varieties. More streamlined than fancy mollies, it is an active swimmer that adapts well to brackish conditions and is quite hardy.
