With huge bellies, I would agree and say they're balloon mollies. They're classified with "livebearers" because they give birth to live fry/fish as opposed to lying eggs like other fish.

Swordtails,sounds like.Do the males have a lond tail fin that looks like a sword?They are the only livebearers that I can think of by your description.If you have a male & female in the three,be prepared to have babies every month.

Do you have a picture from the internet that looks similar to it? From your description, it could be a molly, platy, guppy, or swordtail.
