Poecilia salvatoris - Liberty molly
Info from wikipedia:
The liberty molly (Poecilia salvatoris) is a fish species from El Salvador.[1] It is one of the short fin molly species in the Poecilia sphenops complex, and had been often regarded as a variety of P. sphenops until recently

Mine are from Oslo Dyrebutikk, I have a pair, and they live in my largest paludarium where they just dropped fry.
(I saw one scurry away in the vegetation two days ago :) )
I am not a big molly man - but as I'm interested in livebearers in general and they were available, I couldn't resist getting them.
Apparently there are two colour morphs, red and yellow. I have a red male and I thought I had a yellow female, but since I've placed them in the paludarium she has got more of a tangerine cast to her dorsal fin. Not easy to take pictures of, but here are a few - mainly of the male, and I'll try to get pics of the female and fry soon :)

The paludarium where they live, it's also home to a few young Geosesarma hagen - red devil crabs, and some Red cherry and Amano shrimp as well as orange isopods and white springtails.
