What is the scientific name for a balloon molly fish?
The Balloon molly is a Black Molly (Poecilia sphenops) that has been bred with a deformed spine. (It was an inevitable accident of (bad) inbreeding) This deformity shortens the fishes lifespan. If this deformity had occured in any fish I had bred I would have euthanased the fish rather than perpetuate a deformity. I personally believe that the breeders who deliberately breed and allow this deformed fish to be sold are doing the wrong thing by the species.

There are hundreds of "sports" that unscrupulous people have given names to like "Dalmation" "Lyretail" etc. There are actually only three types of molly. Mollies were once classified as "Mollienesia" but the taxonomists have now placed the Molly into the same classification/genera as the Guppy and they are now classified as "Poecilia". The three species are P. velifera, P. latipinna and P. sphenops.
Do Dalmatian mollies live in the wild?
Dalmatian mollies, a popular aquarium fish variant, do not exist in the wild as a distinct breed; they are selectively bred for their unique coloration and patterns. The wild ancestors of mollies, including the black molly (Poecilia sphenops), can be found in freshwater and brackish environments in parts of Central and South America. In their natural habitats, these fish inhabit rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Therefore, while mollies do live in the wild, Dalmatian mollies specifically do not.
