The Giant Sailfin Molly is one of the largest species of Mollies. Males will reach 6 inches in length while females will be a bit larger at 7". The body will be white or silver. The scales will be small, yet very pronounced.
The third candidate is a rare Veiltail Molly with a long flowing caudal. The fourth candidate is a huge Anableps. The fifth potential winner is a vividly colored Red Swordtail, which is extremely large.
Common Mollies are the Black Molly (which was derived from the Marled Molly - Poecilia sphenops) and the Sail-Fin Molly - Poecilia velifera (of which there are also several color varieties available).
