Common Names
Sailfin molly (English), Breitflossenkärpfling (German), seilfinnemolly (Norwegian), zeilvinkarper (Dutch), molinezja szerokopłetwa (Polish), bubuntis (Tagalog), and molliénésie á voilure or simply "molly voile" (French).
There is some confusion with the Yucatan molly, P. velifera. While most names that contain a "sail" element refer to the present species, the German Segelkärpfling, the Latin velifera and possibly others are used for the Yucatan molly. The French terms are used for both species indiscriminately.
