My mollies keep giving birth but not eating their babies, the bigger fish in my tank are also not eating the babies, so I am becoming over run with baby fish. The pet shop will not take them from me so I don’t really know what to do. Help please!!!!
 
Sell them? Advertise them for free if you just want them gone, Facebook marketplace?

If you don't want them to keep having babies you'll have to separate the males and females....but expect to keep finding fry for a while after you've done that, not sure if they do the same but Guppies can store sperm to use at a later date

Well, to avoid more mollies, get rid of your females. If the predation is gone like you've said, there will be more mollies overtime.

Yes, they do the same...
