There would be a green phantom pleco, ellioti cichlid, sajica, red tail black shark and mabye a convict if the territory's make room

1m 1f and your tank will be overrun in a few months unless you have something very good at hunting fry. Livebearers multiply insanely fast so it really doesnt matter what you start with

I have a 65 gallon tank with 30-40 swordtails and a turtle.

The convict will eat the fry. And probably the parents too.

Just get a trio, 1 male 2 female, if you want more just save the fry and either let mom give birth in a separate tank or net out any newborn fry that aren't immediately destroyed.
