Poecilia sphenops, called the Mexican molly or simply the molly, is a species of poeciliid fish from Central America. It was once understood as a widespread species with numerous local variants ranging from Mexico to Venezuela, but these variants are today considered distinct species belonging to the P. sphenops complex and P. sphenops itself as being native to Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Poecilia gillii is a livebearer, meaning that females give birth to live fry. [3] It reproduces continuously year-round, with most juveniles appearing in August. [2]In some poeciliid species, e.g. P. latipinna and Xiphophorus multilineatus, large males court females while small males instead rely on chasing and sneaking up on the females to copulate.

The most commonly kept species are guppies (P. reticulata), mollies (P. sphenops or P. latipinna), and Endler's livebearers .
