YES!! At least the fry. My Fan Tailed Goldfish LOVED the fact that my daughter's Mollies gave birth... like a swimming vending machine. Separate the birthing mother from the rest of the tank with a breeder(cheap and worth it). When finished with the birthing process (about 12 hrs) remove the mom to the rest of the tank and keep he fry in the breeder until about 1 inch long. Then they are too big to be eaten.

They can by nipping and harassing it to death. In general, though, if it's an adult goldfish, it's more likely that the molly will be food. In general, it's not a good idea to keep the two together.

In fact, about the only fish you should keep with goldfish would be dojo loaches.

Yes, goldfish will eat other fish that can fit in their mouths, including other goldfish.
No, but sometimes they will bully the smaller fish by chasing and pecking them constantly.

Goldfish are best with goldfish. A molly and a goldfish have very different needs including the fact that a molly is a tropical fish

Mollies and goldfish are incompatible fish and should not be in the same tank together. They have different needs including food and water temperature and are best to be kept separated.
