(I meant safe not save)
I have a male and pregnant female Dalmatian Molly , and 8 neon tetras, 7 male guppies in my 55. I will be adding a hand full of male platys very shortly. I am sticking with male only of guppies and platys because I do not want a tank with constant fry from 3 different species. I am wondering though, with the platy being a close cousin, and the guppy being a distant cousin, will those males sexually harass my female Molly? thank you
 
I have 2 male platys, and 5 male guppies, 1male mollie and 3 female mollies, and 5 balloon mollies- all female. The male platys and guppys chase my female mollies and give them attention, but I don't think they've actually mated.. (I could be wrong)
 
And I'll just add too it's not harassment it is just attention, the male guppies or platys will follow the female mollies for a while but they do stop and my female mollies don't ever seem stressed by them
 
I remember reading on here once that Mollies and guppies can breed.
