Alternative to a Molly?

[Andyvette]

In my 30 gallon, I am going to have Dwarf Gouramis, Ottos, Cordys, and Barbus Pentazonas. I was going to have about 4 mollies (with their like of salt), and the ottos (and their dislike of salt), but I dont think that is a good match now.
Is it OK?
Or should I find an alternative (like Platys)

Platys are good. We've kept them for several years without salt.

You don't need to add salt with mollies. They have been captive bred for so many years in freshwater environments.

I agree with Fishyfanatic. Don't bother with the salt. They don't need it.

I have several mollies with no salt. They are doing fine for a year now, they have been breeding as well.

We had 4 in freshwater only and they were popping out fry like crazy. The fry are now living in James' mothers tank two years later.
