• ... that the black molly (pictured) might not be a black molly?

• Source: "Allerdings: gibt es ihn überhaupt, 'den' Black Molly? Oder ist es nicht vielmehr so, dass es eine ganze Reihe von schwarzen Molliensern gibt, mit ganz unterschiedlichen Stammeltern? Letztere Situationsbeschreibung trifft sicher eher zu, als 'den' Black Molly als 'schwarze Zuchtform des Spitzmaulkärpflings, Poecilia sphenops' zu definieren, wie es in zahl­reichen Aquarienbüchern gehandhabt wird."

• Comment: The hook might turn out to be more interesting without the image. I leave it to the discretion of the reviewer and the promoter.

• Prior to expansion Poecilia sphenops was at 626B and it's now at 6032B, so it's been expanded by 5X recently enough. Fancy molly was created recently enough. Both pages are long enough. Two reviews have been done, so QPQ is good. None of the sources seem unreliable to me, but I have to AGF on the German source because I cannot read German. Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine is a hobbyist magazine but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unreliable, especially on the subject of tropical fish breeds. WP:EARWIG says both articles are fine in terms of potential plagiarism. The hook is fun and interesting, and I agree that it's probably better without the image. Overall, it seems good to me!
