So I have a 20 gallon tank I will be putting a new Dalmatian Molly into but was wondering what is the gender of the fish?

It's a male.

Male livebearers (guppies, mollies, swordtails & platies) have a long straight anal (bottom) fin called a gonopodium.
Female livebearers have a fan or triangular shaped anal fin.

Young males have a fan or triangular shaped anal fin too but as they become sexually mature it changes into the gonopodium.
