They all came from the same tank in the shop so i think two are girls and two are boys but i dunno. If they are what sort of things should i know about breeding.

I also have a plant in the tank that i dunno what it is but there is pleanty of light so it should be allright but heres a picture of it anyway its about 5 inchs tall

Swordtails and or Mollies/Platies

There are hundreads of color variations for each type as in red swordtail, but they are all the same basically
 
The red one is definitely a Swordtail. The other one looks like a Swordtail as well, but I wouldn't rule out Platy or Variatus. The plant is Anacharis.
 
Looking around on the net im pritty sure the two orange ones are a male and female Swordtail the male seems to have a point at the bottom of his tail that you cant see in the pictures the other orange one thats not in the picture doesnt have this so i think its a girl. the other two look quite like platys but they look a thiner and longer. yea Stargazer53 got it right looks like a Pineapple Swordtail thanks for the help.
