Sounds like you are speaking of Swordtails. They have wonderful color, don't they?

Well, if this was a description of a dog I might think it was a rabbit as the description is not great. HOWEVER, if they breed easy and have sword tails the most likely answer is Platys.

It sounds like you are talking about swordtails. And they gray is actually classified as a green color.
