Guppies and mollies are tropical fish, and they require warm temperatures. The fishbowl will require a heater. Also, these fish are sensitive to drastic changes in the quality of their water, therefore, a filtration and aeration system will be necessary.
Perhaps a better fish for a fishbowl would be a Siamese Fighting fish (Betta Splendens). With a little floating plant in the bowl and a cover, Bettas do very well. Change the water at least weekly. Bettas come in a variety of colors. Unfortunately, only one Betta can be placed in the fishbowl because they will fight.
Almost all tropical fish retailers carry Bettas, and they can tell you how to feed and care for them.

Yes most of the time, I'm referring to mollies mating with mollies, guppies mating with guppies, not mollies mating with guppies. I have seen platies and swordtails bred.

Will gold barbs eat guppies or mollies?
Gold Barb (Puntius semifasciolatus) are a fairly small, peacefull fish (about 3" max) with a fairly small mouth. Adult Guppies and Mollies would be far too big for the Barb to eat. They will of course eat youngsters (fry) though, as will just about every other species of fish.
Which fish are better mollies or guppies?
Guppies would show a lot of different colours whereas the molly doesn't have as many colours as the guppy. Guppies and mollies however are said to be delicate fish so you must be careful what you put in your tank. Male fighting fish would think the brightly coloured guppy tails are other male fighting fish and would try and fight them. Mollies would tend to nip at fish with long fins. Both mollies and guppies are friendly. They are both active and eat a lot.
