Question
I have 2 molly and 2 angel fish in a medium size tank.
Should I put artificial plants in it?
If molly gives birth . Then what should I feed to the fry except shrimp, should I put more mollies please advice me?

Answer
Hi Angad,
  The problem is that the angelfish will try and eat the babies, so you either need to put them in a separate tank, or provide LOTS of fine plants (real or artificial) for the baby mollies to hide in.
