i know this sounds mean but i really dont want baby fish so wat do i do? shud i leave the preg fish in breeding tank and wait until she eats all her babies? or is there a less stressful way?

What type of fish are they.
What fish do you have an how many.
Livebearers can carry sperm for several months.
Most of them will get eaten but some do survive. Once they reach a certain age of about 6 weeks see if the lfs will take the babies for nothing.

i have 1 black molly( i think shes pregnant) 1 golden lyretail(male) and 1 mickey mouse platy(male)
i know theres a ratio but i was hoping this wouldnt happen

You have males in the tank and they will just want to mate her all the time.
Research fish before you buy if you don't want problems like this to arise.
I would maybe think of rehoming the female and just have males. Then you could have fighting problems.
