i currently have a 114litre tank that has 2 gourami, 3 bamboo shrimp, 2 corydoras, 2 tiger barbs (will be adding a few more corydoras and tigerbarbs soon here) but i have a small 5 gallon that we put 3 mollies and 3 platys in and its OBVIOUSLY to small for them (considering all are pregnant except 1 for sure male platy and i cannot tell if 1 of the mollies is a male for female) and yes im positive they are pregnant. so i was wondering could i move them into my bigger tank at least temporarily until i can purchase a bigger tank for them??

((((and what the heck am i going to do with all these babies!! how many fry can 1 molly/platy have??))))
 
those are all good together, do not worry. also when your platy has the fry do not freak if they are not swimming like i did. mine are five days old and still not constant swimmers!

oh, sorry mine are mollies, but i think it is the same thing :blush:
 
Yes you can move them to your bigger tank, & tbh unless you can rehome the fry then it's better to let nature take it's course.
I don't know about mollies, but platys can have 20/30 fry every 28-30 days, so if you saved them all you'd soon be way overstocked, & most Lfs won't take them
