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.
