I’ve never heard of a Swordtail Barb. Do you have it’s Latin name?

They’re Swordtails (the middle one might be a Platy, from that angle) Livebearers, not barbs. Only males develop swords. The ones pictured are females. They’ve been mature for a long time.

Thanks again @black ghost , the fish were all in a tank marked as "Assorted Barbs", hence my guess. Now you have identified them as female Swordtails, I just need to get a male and sort out another tank.
