somewhere I'm not even sure
I know there are different types of mollies (dalmatian, gold dust, silver, and more) but I have a Molly that I can't figure out what kind she is. I was just curious to know what type of molly she is. Any responses are welcome. Thanks in advance!

@emeraldking is your dude for this one :)
Officialy this is still a gold dust variety. Just lacking a majority of yellow color cells. Also the socalled panda mollies are gold dust mollies. But the yellow (xanthophores) and the black color cells (melanophores) density is high. The faded version happens quite often when bred in mass reproduction and hardly some culling has taken place. But the commercial trade has selected the faded ones to breed them and sell them as being a new variety. While in fact it's just a faded version of te gold dust molly.
