I am sure that most of your fish would eat the babies. When I had mine, the mollies were all that were in the tank and most of them seemed to find enough hiding spots in the rocks and made it, but some did get eaten as well.

At the time I was also running a canistar filter and many "lived" in there until I cleaned it.

i found that 90% went into the overflow (made it easy to get them out) and the other 10% snack food!

The male had hear attached when my MH light turned on! it was doing great as when the MH trued on it died right away!

I gave the female to someone because she could not adjust herself with my water flow, if you have hight flow dont get ballon molly .

Default Molly's are good is a saltwater system..

I had a couple of Molly's given to me awhile ago and they are great in a reef tank..I have balloon mollys and no problem. They are algea grazers as well. Molly's adapt very well into marine aquariums,just convert slowly if they exist in a fresh water system.
They are great for a cycling fish as well..They reproduce very well,so a little live food for the rest of our fish can be a little treat.(unfortunatly for the ones that can't hide good enough.
A few Molly's are great,although a whole tank full of them might be alittle much.
