Hello. I believe it's a female Swordtail. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Congrats on the new additions!

lol. Well, I think our consensus is that it's definitely a female livebearer. After that, it's anyone's guess.


*Edit, Ha! Ok well cross of my suggestion. I thought all livebearers could intermix, but it must just be that they can, ermmmm, go through the motions, but without any kids.
