Hey everybody. My first batch of fry are growing up so nicely! They're just adorable. They're all yellow and black and so cute. I'm not quite sure how old they are. Things have been nuts lately. Some were born at the end of April and some were born at the beginning on May. They're about a week apart in age. I guess that would make them...about a month and a half-ish?

ANYWAY...haha I'm going to rehome them in another month. I've got 18 guppies, 2 mollies, and 10 platies. I don't want to give them to just anyone, because I've loved them and cared for them since they were born, so they're going to homes where I can keep an eye on them. I'm going to set up 10 gallon tanks with my family members so I can check in on them and make sure that they're taken care of. My mom, my cousin, my godson, and my aunt. I want to keep a few, myself, as well. Especially the two mollies, as their mother has passed away and she was my favorite. My question is...how can I divide them up into the 10 gallon tanks? What should I give each person so that the fish will live comfortably? How many can I keep for my tank? I've got a 55 gallon with:
4 cories
10 neon tetras
1 female guppy (I only have the 1 because I want to keep some of her female babies)
1 male endler
3 mollies
5 platies
(My black molly and my black platie are about to pop! more fry soon!)

I'd appreciate your help!
 
I've just divided it up on paper. I've come up with each person getting 4 guppies and 2 platies in the 10 gallon tanks and keeping the remaining 2 mollies, 2 guppies and 2 platies for myself. The 10 gallons seem overstocked to me. I have an empty 29 gallon that I could set up with someone instead of a 10 gallon, or I could set up another 10 gallon with another person. What should I do?
