I have a 20 gallon aquarium with...
1 Dalmation Molly(Pregnant)
1 Lyretail Molly(Pregnant)
1 Red Platy(Pregnant)

Im already taking care of the pregnant fish in different aquriums. I want some good ideas for nice, peaceful, tropical fish that can go with these fish. The aquarium is well planted, has a cave decoration and some rocks, and im soon gonna put some drift wood in. I know about tetras,guppis,platy,and mollies...But is there other fish that can be with these species? Thanks!!!
 
zebra danios
cardinal tetras
neon tetras
silver dollars are very interesting but i wouldn't get them unless you have a larger tank to put them in later.
 
If you already know about the ones mentioned, I can offer you gouramis and danios. Watch the gouramis, as they may be a little aggressive, but should be OK. The danios are very active and a school is needed (gourami ARE NOT schooling fish). I think some cardinal tetra (10ish) would look really good, but cardinals and neons aren't very hardy. The danios, however, are, and the gourami are fairly hardy. Just make sure you give the danios plenty of interesting spots and the gourami somewhere for it to find shade (floating plants or caves for example)

Just a word of warning, if you were planning to keep some of the fry, make sure you don't over crowd.
