Yes, it is.
It more than likely Poecilia latipinna.

That fish looks like what I bought called a Pearl Molly. I Have mostly sailfins, and the pearl actually looks like a mini sailfin. I have to tell you - it is Deveil Spawn Fish as far as I am concerned. They are bullies! They chase and nip at all of the bigger mollies - I lost two of the pearls cuz I think they were acting too big for their britches (fins) and something fought back.

I just have one left - and it is full of attitude. I won't buy more, could just be a fluke that they are so nasty, but they are pretty little things.

Good luck with yours, I laughed ( sorry) when I read that yours picks on the black molly - so did mine - picked on the black sailfin, Bogey, who is the biggest and most handsome!

They are TURDS!!
