mystery fish id

Can anyone ID this brackish fish from Florida?

The male has a sailfin like a sailfin molly but the females don't have gravid spots???

There's some weird gold sack type attachment stuck to his front fin.

Any ideas?

Okay so I am going with that they are sailfin mollies. Any idea what that thing that is stuck to his fin is?

+1...sailfins...can you describe this "thing" or get a picture?

Also what is a front fin?

Dorsal or pectoral I am going to assume?

It's the dot on the picture of his front fin. I will find a better photo to upload.

Hmm strange. I have seen these before. Its like a growth.

I have only seen these on wild fish though.

It is probably just a small growth, and I doubt that it will do any harm. Benign tumor.

American Flag Fish, I have a tank of which I breed along with swords tails, convicts and guppy for feeders. They can live in Brackish and in fresh.

Sailfin mollies. I think it could be a parisite.
