I got these as Lyretail and Sailfin Mollies.... but the more I see about Swordtail I think I've been misled.
What do you think, Mollies or Swordtails?

I see one sword, but the rest look like mollies to me.
Edit: Females wont have the signiture swordtale, so, they could very well all be swordtails.

The two with the "sword" are male swordtails, a clearer picture is needed of the females for proper identification.
Lol, looks like you weren't the only one, now there are three "neither's".Itsadeepbluesea;4170063; said:lol i'll adimit did, i hadn't read the post and assumed they were asking what they should get.
The fish on the very top and the far right are male swordtails.
It looks possible that the two orange fish with black edge tails are platy's. Red rose wag platy??
Female swordtails have a longer body and longer tail, platy's are much shorter between dorsal fin and tail fin.
It is possible that the three other females could be mollies, but this picture is hard to identify. They could be female swordtails.
Post a better pic.
Either way, I'd contact your fish shop about it. I raise sailfin mollies and you got took. Best wishes!
