Thank you so much for your time. I have a 29 gallon with 9 corydoras, 5 mollies, 2 platies, 2 upside down catfish, 2 Endler's Live bearers, 3 guppies, and a handful of snails.

Don't worry about that yet, we'll cross that bridge if it comes to it, but it's not a guarantee that the males will stress the females. On the whole, yes, it's better to have more females than males with every livebearer, but the main reason for the rule is that one female surrounded by 2-3 males would be in a for a bad time. a 1:1 ratio isn't the worst, and there's a lot of personality differences to take into account too. Not all males are relentless sex pests, and some female mollies can more than hold their own and chase the male right back! If your female mollies are anything like mine, they won't be bothered at all and will soon put a stop to any nonsense from the males. Plus my mature males seem quite mellow and gentlemanly, it's the younger ones who tend to be a tad too driven.If my female molly passes away I will have 2 male and 2 female mollies. I know that's not good because the males will stress the females. What should I do if she passes away?
Thank you. I changed my mind. I'm just going to look online a little longer and try to find out more about the disease.Meant to say, go and get some sleep, it's really late there. You've done all you can for her for tonight, you staying up even later worrying isn't going to solve anything, and will only make you more upset. I'll link whatever I find here later, and you can read it after you've had a good sleep. Night @corylover5 , try to sleep and we'll talk more later.
