So today, my wife decided to go get me a pair of female platy's, which I was psyched about since my male platy will finally have some company. Unfortunately, I believe she has brought me a female platy and female molly! Quite funny, but not a problem nonetheless because the female molly (we'll assume Molly unless I'm wrong) is quite gorgeous, and appears to be dalmation lyre-tail style so I'm cool with this. I've attached pictures of both.
The only hangup I have about both being platy is that I know it's more common in platy's for the dorsal fin to start after the hump in their back, and they are more triangular whereas molly's are flatter and the dorsal fin tends to start nearer the head.

other than the reasons you stated above, i dont think platys come in dalmation lyretail form xD
