What other fish do you have? I've had mollies get over three inches before. If you are only keeping mollies and nothing else, you'd be cool with 20 or so (adults). By the time you have 20 adults however, you'll wake up one morning with 500+ fry swimming around. If you really like mollies, I'd just keep females....they stay a little smaller and don't attempt to mate with every object in your tank.

20-25, its a lot of little fish, 500 fry is quite the exaggeration but you'll have quite a few, maybe you should add a carnivore fish or two to keep fry numbers down
