Those are indeed Ameca Splendens or butterfly Goodeids. The are a cooler water fish than your typical tropical fish and are livebearers. However, they don't breed as quickly as guppies do, they instead give birth to 1 baby every other day or so.... you got these from a petshop? I'd say good deal, they are a rare fish to come across in stores.
