Dalmatian molly with orange spots?

Question
Renee,
My female dalmatian molly has orange spots on her sides. She is a dalmatian so she is only supposed to be black and white right? What's with the orange spots?

Answer
Hi Manahil,

My Dalmatian Molly was black and white, with small orange flecks in her skin also.

It is common.

My molly bred with an orange male, and her babies have orange with black spots that have white in them!  

It is very common for them to have 3 colors, rather than two colors.

Happy fish-keeping.

Renee
