i've mixed mollies and guppies, shoul work out ok, just make sure the majority is guppy, the first time i mixed the 2 i had 3 black mollies and 8 guppies, may i suggest a couple platy's?

hey..

i have the same size tank for my guppies, and they used to live with a stumpy old black molly who seemed to chase them when she was hungry, but that was it.

Like gutty says.. i think you should keep more guppies than mollies as mollies seem to get aggressive in numbers towards guppies.

Also, add salt!

And you most likely never will, unless someone does it in a labratory.

Also, I'm surprised people would recommend you keep Mollies in there. It's just over a 10 gallon, and you could not keep them in there with Guppies. It's pretty small to keep them in there at all, and that's even just 2 females. Mollies can get to 6", depending on the type. I'd stick with Guppies, or Platies. Perhaps a trio of each. Plan for fry though.
