OK so i bought some fish from my LFS and ended up getting this platy/Mollie I'm not sure what it is since it didn't have a label was hoping some one here could tell me.

^ thanks im pretty sure its not a female guppy since female guppies are not so brightly colored.
 
looks kinda fat for a pineapple swordtail. my female swordtail does not have a belly like that. unless maybe its pregnant? I would say a molly swords also dont have a hump on the back or large bodys.
 
I'm about 89 percent sure that's a balloon molly. It's a malformed version of the molly with an exaggerated spinal curve.
 
I hate 3 platys and im 90% certain its not a platy. I would say its a molly, the shape of the fins on its back look different to my platies.

these are different pictures from what the OP had when he/she started the thread. The pictures before showed swordtails...I'm guessing the OP switched pictures on his photobucket account and they changed in this thread.
