Hello!

[YoungFishLover]

I am new to this forum and fairly new to this hobby. It's nice to have somewhere that I can talk to people about my love for fish family member keep fish because they are "Pretty". I think fish are relaxing and fun to watch they each have a different personality 

I currently have a 55 Gallon and a 10 gallon the 10 ten gallon has one male Silver Lyretail Molly and two females one is a black molly and the other is a Creamsicle Molly (Which I think she is pregnant) One male Tuxedo Platy and two Tigerstripe mickymouse females. I am going to move them all to the 55 gallon slowly but I am treating for ich and figured I should wait till it clears up. In the 55 gallon I have 1 male guppy and two females. (I know I will end up with lots of babies) I plan to use the 10 gallon for raising baby fish until I can either put them in the 55 gallon tank or donate to the LFS. I want to add more but I am not sure how much I can stock the 55 gallon up to.

Welcome to the forum
As for stocking numbers in a 55 gallon tank if it's just going to be guppies and if you have good filtration then I've seen people keep 50 or more in a 55 mind you that's with great filtration.

Welcome

You are correct in waiting for the ich to clear, are you doing regular water changes? What treatment are you using for the ich? What filtration and media do you have?

If you have any pictures of your tanks, we would live to see them

Welcome! I to have a great love for the aquatic world. No one else in the house is amused as I am. Which is ok, because I have wonderful folks around the web I can chat with about them. 
 
With all the males and females, that 55 will be stocked before you know it.

Still an ok stocking number just make sure there's lots of hiding spots for the fry and you have good filtration

One Trio One male and two females. Today one of my female mollys had 14-19 babies I am still trying to find them all XD Its keeping me busy and I am trying to see which female it is I dont know if its a good idea to move the pregnant female to a 10 gallon tank but it seems the males are unusually wild today/
By the way the Ich cleared! Yay!

Yeah the males tend to act kinda crazy after one of the females has baby's.
