I had 3 white mollies give birth recently. There is about 60-80 fry. Everyday I find about 2-4 fry died. I don't have them in with the adults. I raised the temp to 80 because I heard it helps them grow. I feed them crushed flakes 3-4 times a day. Someone told me that it hepls them grow and she never lost fry doing this.
How many fry per birth is normal to die?

oh wow, I ve done EXACTLY the same thing (crushed flakes, water temp around 80...)! I had tons of fry from guppies mollies, platies and put them in seperate tank and everything....as the days went on fewer fry kept "dissappearing" 
....oh well.
I heard it is normal for about only 20-25% to live......
About a month ago, I had about 40 and now I have like 12 or 13, BUT, they are getting big!! Ironically, only 1 sunburst platy and all the rest are guppy fry!
what happen to all my molly babies
?
