I have added some photos but can anyone tell me what type of platys this is. I get them from the pet store and have them in my 5 gallon breeder tank to get all the fry out of them so i can start my own line of fish thanks for the help.

its not a male unless males can have babies LOL. she has had 3 babies so she is a female. what I wanted to know is she like a certain type of platy like a gold dust, sunburst ETC.

Ah... thought I saw a gonopodium, but the pictures aren't really conducive for identifying gender or 'strain'. 
 
You'll need to provide better pics for a more accurate identification.  Those are rather difficult.  The fish is either in shadow or blocked. 
 
ok let me see if i can get better ones

heres some better pics

it's a type of blue. but trying to developo your own line is very difficualt, you want to start off with two different types of platy. google the hi fin's or plume tail, and then google bleeding heat platies, you can then try mixxing these blood lines and see what happens.
