Question About Molly Compatibility

[kuri33]

I've been looking around the internet and this topic seems unclear to me. I plan on raising a baby convict cichlid. I've read that some people have had a positive experience with keeping mollies with cichlids.

Q1: Can mollies be kept with cichlids?
Q2: Have you tried keeping the two together, and if so what tank size, number of each fish...
Q3: Would a male or female cichlid be a more friendly tank mate?
Q4: What noncichlid fish can be kept with a convict cichlid?

(Yes I posted in two different categories because my question is about two different fish and some people stay in the same category)

Convicts, not cichlids in general, are very aggressive fish compared to a molly. As an example, angels are also cichlids and work out just fine with livebearers.
