I've had this fish for about a year now and she is in a tank with mollies and Platys and one swordtail. I've seen the swordtail trying to mate with her and I'm fairly sure she was pregnant and gave birth to 11 fry. I thought they were Platy fry at first but now I'm convinced they're mollie fry. They could be fry from one of my other fish though. I know this seems like a stupid question but I just want someone else's opinion.
 
Platies and swordtails will mate, but mollies and swordtails will not, this is what I have found from research and experience.

But that being said I only have swords and platies.
 
Do you think it's a Platy or a mollie?
 
I've just realised that it's a swordtail, I'm actually surprised I didn't think of that before. Ive never kept swordtails before and I was completely unaware that the female swordtails didn't have the sword.
