Hi all, I have acquired a fishy from a family member but he/she is the only one. I am going to get some friends for it.
Please could somebody advised if it a platy or molly and if possible male or female ?

It's a he and he's a coral red platy...
 
Ah I love the quick response you get on here. Thank you!! What is the difference with male/female ?
Well, the anal fin of a male and female looks different.
Overhere a picture I've made with the difference between male and female ovoviviparous livebearers (where platies also belong to):

It’s a male platy. If you get more platys then I recommend two or more females since male livebearers harass females. Female platys are just as pretty as the males though!
 
Here is a short video of my coral red platies...
