Poecilia
Mollies are a genus of fish in family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes. They are native to fresh, brackish and salt water in the Americas, and some species in the genus are euryhaline. Live-bearers, the Poecilia species are collectively known as mollies, with the exception of Endler's livebearer and the famous guppy. It has been proposed that the genus Micropoecilia should be included as a sub-genus of Poecilia.
