My tattooed mollies had about 20 little ones.

Everyone seems fine, they are all still alive, and its been 2 days.

I've got a 75 gallon tank with several different kinds of fish, none of them have bothered the babies.

Is is likely the mom and dad would eat the babies?

What all kinds of fish do you have in there?

My molllies have never bothered the fry, at least so far as I know, as long as they were kept fed. Considering I had two adults and like thirty fry in a 10g with two fiddler crabs(meaning a lowered water level so they can get out), I think they'll be fine with their folks.

Depending on what kind of fish you have in there with them, the fry may grow up totally unmolested, or they may be someone's dinner as soon as they get big enough to be noticed.

I've got a huge bala shark, a decent sized placostamous, a few pictus catfish, and other assorted small fish that couldnt eat the babies. They've been good for a few days now, I think they're going to make it. A handful at least.

You should get one of those little net things to let them grow in if you don't want them to get eaten.

They've been here a week, nothing has bothered them.
