Members of Poecillidae, mollies included, only eat each other if the others are babies, or dead. But most likely, he jumped out.
Some mollies die after giving birth due to the stress of it, but it is usually rare. most mollies survive.

As Mollies are tropical fish, they need regulated heat and good filtration. My Mollies have been known to dive.
You should do this when the babies are big enough that they wont fit into any of the fish mouths.
No, they are different types of fish, but since they are both livebeares, they can interbreed.
They may be too crowded. I have heard that mollies need 2-3 gallons per fish. My daughter's male dalmatian Mollie keeps nipping at the female and has killed 2 so far.
Its quite hard to mate different species of fish. Both mollies and sqordtails do get pregnant easily especially mollies which are pretty much always pregnant like mine. Well it isn't impossible but is very unlikely that they will because of their species. If you want fish fry put another female or male mollie in their (depending which sex) and they will reproduce like mad! Hope i helped
The book doesn't speak of the horse Mollie's background. Mollie does, however, leave the farm because she desires the material things humans offer her such as ribbons and sugar cubes.
Mollies have a natural distribution range stretching from the brackish waters of the southern estuaries of the US of A going southwards to the Yucatan in Mexico.
you can't force them to breed but you can put 2-3 females with 1 male in a separate tank and eventually you will get fry(babies). In my tank i have mollie fry and previously had platy fry whish has now grown up and are adults
No they are entirely different species and can not cross breed. Mollies are Poecilia sp. and Swordtails and Plattys are Xiphophorus sp. To cross them would be like crossing a dog with a cow.
i don't know about tiger barbs but mollies are very intristing animals that like a 7.2 pH level, fish flakes , 10 gallon aquariums and some company also plenty of shelter. when you get a new mollie make sure you move stuff around or they might have a fight.
