Corydoras are unlikely to eat them.
Mollies, Swordtails and Harlequins will eat any that are small enough to fit in their mouths.
I've never kept any of the others but I would expect most of them to eat the fry.

Is it possible for you to keep the fry in a separate tank?

Corydoras - Unlikely.
Mollys themselves - Yes, most likely.
Khuli Loaches - Not very likely.
Betta Splendens - Probably, If the fry can fit in their mouth
Swordtails - Yes, most likely.
Harlequins - Possibly, If the fry can fit in their mouth.
Apple Snails - No
Wood Shrimp - If they can fit in their mouth.

My cories ate the fry. If they were on the bottom, the cories went right for them.

Thanks alot.

I do not (as of yet) have a sperate tank just for fry set up (I'm using that for my killifish breeding) but was wondering whether they'd survive in a comunity tank. I knew that the betta's and swordtails would eat them but thought maybe molly fry was abit too big as the fish is a lot bigger than most.

Thanks,
Chris
