Yes,their parents definitely will. You need a breeder net to keep them safe.

Be prepared to have tons of little ones! My molly just gave birth about a week ago, 7 survivors in a breeding net now and she is already pregnant again! I assume she is still holding sperm because she is the only molly in my tank. Sad thing is...I am going to have to re-home her because I only have a 30 gal. Pretty soon there will be no water left...just a bunch of molly fry in my tank.

Actually...no. You'll probably never stop seeing fry. If you want to stop them from having babies I suggest separating the males and females or your tank will quickly be full of guppy fry. My molly is the same way and she is my only molly!
