They are red wag platies. Any fish with the black tail and dorsal is called a wag and the body color is combined with the word wag to specify the color pattern. Both platies and swords come in a red wag variety but your male in the foreground does not have a swordtail. That and the stubbier body say platy rather than swordtail.

Common livebearers are something I learned over 50 years ago Spouse. I still struggle with my present interest, the goodeids.
