Umm. I'm not completely sure what type they are. I'll look for a picture similar to them and post what type they are. We were supposed to be getting an outdoor pond this year but it looks like it'll be another year. That's my biggest problem.

Edit: They're comets and they're both about 3 in right now

Both of my new ottos have such fat little bellies. Squee. Hopefully tomorrow I can pick up two more and then they'll have some company, though I'm still doubtful they'll actually school in my tank.

@ Hawkfeather- It's a ten gallon with four male danios, plus the two ottos. I have a lot of algae in there which they're clearly enjoying, and I'm gradually converting it to a planted tank with no plastic pants. Right now there's a big amazon sword, Cyprus helferi, some small plant with reddish pink leaves, and another larger plant that looks like it's related to the Amazon swords in some way. I forgot to save the tags.
I have two other tanks besides this one, another fully planted ten gal with 8 het. rasboras, and an empty cycling 20 gal with a broadleafed plant and hornwort (my new favorite) that will be a mix of plastic and natural plants. It's very colorful. We're hoping to put about 15 neon tetras, possibly some ottos, and a dwarf gourami in there.

That's cool !
Recently 2 of my little neons passed away...
Currently I have one 20 gal. With 1 neon tetra, 1 glofish tetra, 2 Sunrise Guppies, 2 red wagtails, and 2 Dalmatian mollies. The lmollies and guppies are my favorite. They have so much personality! Sadly I am unable to have live plants. So for now we have plastic.

Why can't you have real plants? Some plants really don't require much light or attention. :)
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

If you want to breed them then you'll need either plenty of plants and cover so the fry don't get eaten or another tank for them to grow up in.
You'll also probably want to separate your livebearers. Guppies and mollies can interbreed since they're the same species which isn't really what you want. You'll also end up with way too many babies for 1 20 gallon tank with 3 easy to breed livebearing species in there c: Unless you let the fry be eaten.
You also really need multiple females per male for your guppies, mollies and platys, they generally do best in at least a ratio of 2 females per male so the females don't get overwhelmed and stressed. Male livebearers can be really eager to make babies :B
Your tetras would also be happier in a larger group too. Generally 6+ each of your tetras and glofish (assuming they're zebra danios)

We do love guppy personalities c: Ours are adorable and come nibble our fingers when we do water changes.
You cannot eat love, nor buy a horse with it, nor warm your halls on a cold night
