Hi there! I'm very sorry if this is in the wrong forum or something but I really need some help.

My little brother's fish died yesterday and so today we got him two new mollies. Everything was going fine until tonight when I checked the tank and there were eight baby mollies running around! We are completely unprepared for baby fish and aren't quite sure what to do. I turned off the filter so none of them will get sucked up, but some of the other fish in the aquarium have started to go after the little guys. We do not have an alternative tank to keep any of them in. Please help. I just put my little bro to bed crying and I feel kinda sick to my stomach :/

1. This goes in Personal.

2. The Fish King (me) will help anyway.

3.1. Get some plants/rocks so they can hide.
3.2. Take the adults out and put them in bags/a sink/a tub/whatever, and put them back in one by one about an hour later. They should start to leave the babies alone.
3.3. If that doesn't work, I have two options.
3.3.1. Get a new tank to separate them.
3.3.2. Put in a divider (anything big enough to separate the tank in two) to separate the adults and babies until they're big. This will at least allow the fish to get big enough to not get eaten if nothing else.
3.4. If none of the above work, then sorry.

Thank you very very much Mr. Fish King! I think we will try separating them and adding the adults back in later. I really appreciate your advice :)
