Are the black mollies in the fish shops a captive black variation of wild sailfin mollies?

Thanks

They're mostly hybrids or at least of questionable origin.

The black mollies are mostly likely hybrids between two or three or even four species of mollies.

To clarify, I meant pet store black mollies are hybrids.
Wild pure sailfin mollies can be black, you just won't find them [pure blood] in a pet store.
