Hi there.

You can tell your mum that her fish are of a species commonly called 'platy'. Their scientific name is Xiphophorus, and they are in a family called 'livebearers', along with guppies and mollies, because they don't lay eggs like most fish, but give birth to live babies.

Thank you very much she will appreciate it
