They are literally dyed or tattooed. It's a horrible, cruel practice. Here's info on how it's done and why it's so bad.

No mollies dont get dyded/painted, They come in all forms of colours (black,silver,gray,orange,brow... Mollies arent being dyded that im aware off, i dont think there would be a point in dyeing a colourful fish.
EDIT: I have actualy just found out that Silver sailfin mollies are the latest victims of tattooing, Please do not buy painted/dyed/tattoed fish

yes, they are dyed.
and that is not all. balloon mollies look like that because it is a special breeding form having a deformed spine.
practically tatooed ballon mollies are two forms of animal cruelty in a single package - how very efficient :-(
People now have the idea that fish need tattoos so they inject ink from aneedle under the skin. It is cruel and disgusting and I don't agree with it one bit. As for that certain fish, maybe, maybe not.
