Bob, just to make sure, because you didn't mention this one, you really should include information on _Poecilia formosa_, the Amazon molly, in your article. This unisexual fish is fascinating, though not showy in an aquarium. Of course, it must be kept with one of the other molliles, sailfin or Mexican/shortfin in order to get reproduction, but it is fairly easy to keep, culture conditions the same as for sailfins.
