What type of fish is this?
My dad got a pair of these one weekend. (One died a week after) but this one is still alive and kickin'. I just never found out what it is.
 
Second question is: how can you tell if it's male or female? Same way as platies or mollies? (I know those pics aren't clear enough I'll try to get more later.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
60g tank
15 Male fancy and imported guppies: Dean, Seth, Logan, Glenn, Sherbert, Fire, Sunset, Utchi, Cesaro, Franco, and Jesse (fancy guppies) Crowley, Captain and Falcon (imported guppies)
1 dwarf gourami
6 neon tetras
1 long tailed zebra tanio
1 black Molly
1 while Molly
3 balloon belly mollies
2 Sunset Wag platies (females)
2 gold Micky Mouse Platies (1 male one female)
1 male red Mickey Mouse platy
3 Mickey Mouse platy fry (color and genders tbd) born November 15th 2014
2 long fin skirt tetras
1 long fin gold zebra danio
2 long fin red minor tetras
2 rainbow fish
SIP guppies Sky, Walter, Roman, Leakee, Bucky, Hoji, Akira and Daryl
And Golden Mickey Mouse platy Brie, mother of over 70 fry.

Since it's not letting me put more pics in my original posts, here are better pics for this fish for determining if it's male or female:

It's a balloon molly. It's not spreading it's fins out, so it's hard to sex it, but judging from the last pic, I would guess female. Can you get pics of it with fins more spread?

You sure it's a bubble belly? Because I got 3 yesterday and they look nothing like that? 
I'll try to get more pics as soon as I can.
