In my experience with molly fry, unless you put them in a seperate tank or breeding net, the fish will eat quite a bit of them. You can pick up the breeding nets for around $5 at petsmart. My mollies have around 80 each time, and without separating the fry, I only have about 20 left.

What other fish are in the tank? How large are the fry? Do the fry look like mini Mollies?

From what I understand about gobies, they need [acronym:b20dea39b6="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:b20dea39b6] to spawn and since they are egg layers, the fry would be tiny.
You didn't have guppies in the tank before, did you?
