I recently went to pick up some fish for my mom's aquarium. She wanted some dalmation mollies and when I looked at them I noticed this little guy/girl in there with them. Not sure if it is a hybrid dalmation or something else. Any ideas? BTW, I bought it because I've never seen another like it.

Looks like a Molly to me. Probably a throwback to a previous generation. I have a tank full of Sunset variatus, and they look nothing like that.
 
It does indeed look like a variant of the Dalmatian Molly. I was recently at PETCO picking up some supplies and decided to peek at the tanks for a bit, and ALL of their dalmatian mollies were at least partially yellow for some reason.

Something tells me the breeders they bought them from may have accidentally (or intentionally) crossbred their dalmatian bloodline with Gold Dust or Creamsicle, etc.
