I currently have 2 lyretail mollies

I want to get another 2-4 more.
I was thinking of mixing some balloons and sailfins with the group.

Can you mix the different molly species - or should I stick to ONLY ONE species?

Also, can the differerent molly species breed?
or do they have be the same species?

that's great !

just wondering, do the mollies eat the babies?
 
Mollies go after their fry rather aggressively IME. If you want to save them, best to either remove the fry or use a breeder trap or provide tons of hiding spots.
