I had a black molly drop 50 fry. One friend took the larger ones. I
ended up spreading the rest over my 5 tanks. Some got eaten, some
died of one thing or another.
The experience ended my love affair with live bearers. I finally
separated the boys from the girls.
Egg fry are so vulnerable. Don't you almost have to raise them in
their own tank? If the eggs don't get moldy, it seems to me the fry
quickly get eaten in community tanks.

That is the whole reason I keep live bearers. Free food is always nice.
Especially when you know the source.

In reality without the proper space, feeding, and segregating needed,
you'll be lucky to get a handful to reach a decent size. They will start
culling themselves everyday they aren't well fed and sized. Still lots of
fun watching them.
