I have a 10g tank love Molly's tetras and swordtails pretty simple fish...

10 gal tank is too small for mollys or swords. Some tetras like neons are small but are active swimmers and need a larger tank than a 10 gal. Is this a new tank? Is it cycled? Do you have other fish in there? I'd do some research first prior to buying fish.

No offense is intended here, but why are you getting fish without something (and prior research) in mind? Spur of the moment fish purchases tend to end up badly. Plan, research, then purchase (and QT). Don't trust the store to solve your problems in the future. They will just sell you more fish along with products that can be questionable at best. JMO.

+1 all they way.

Impulse fish buying is a bad habit to get into. Think about it this way, although not as expensive, you wouldn't go buy a puppy without having a little forethought right?
