I have a black molly, we got her a week ago and the place we got her from said shes pregnant. I want to know if I should do anything to protect the eggs or to protect her. My friend said to isolate her from the babies or she'll eat them :S is this true?

Mollies and other livebearing fish produce live young (and quite big at that) so you don't have to worry about eggs or hungry parents. Only isolate the pregnet mother from the main tank if there are any fish in the tank other than mollies. Even platies and swordtails will have a go at new born mollies.

I've bred my Black Mollies not too long ago, I got 27 fry and I'm hoping to sell them

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
