To clarify, I know what species they are (guppy & molly) but I don't know what breed they are. Any help would be appreciated!
The fish I am talking about is the guppy and this grey molly. Both parents of the grey molly are almost fully black so I guess it's a mutated or recessed gene? I added photos of the parents (the big fishes)

Hello, as I said in the beginning, I already knew they were guppies and mollies. I just wanted to know what type they were. For example, I don't know if the guppy is a Snake Skin, Leopard, Tiger, or some other breed. Same with the molly that is mainly grey.
 
The guppy is a Japan blue cobra guppy with a leopard delta tail. His shape is not great. Probably a result of too much inbreeding.

A molly as such is not a mutation of almost black ones. For the black ones are actually the same as dalmatians. Dalmatians on a white or grey base color start off as a distinctive grey or white body with some spots (could be dots or splotches). While aging, the black can become more or stagnates. Out of such mollies, complete white, complete grey (with or without dots or splotches) can come out. And while these ain't true Poecilia velifera or Poecilia latipinna but already crosses of these two and Poecilia sphenops, also complete black ones can come out of such mollies that you have. It's a matter of the concentration of melanophores (dark color cells) in the second and top layer of the skin per individual specimen.
