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.
