Babies!!

Question
Ok, well I had a little 2.5 gallon tank that was just sitting here from when I had some fish a long time ago. I decided yesterday to buy some fish for it. I put in new rocks, and a new bubbler stone. I bought 3  fish that are black and white spotted fish (one had a little orange on it) and one catfish. They were aquarium mates at the store and so I knew they would be ok to share. I got home from work this morning, and there are 7 tiny babies in my tank. I don't know what to do? I dont even know who mommy is! Also, the black, white, and orange fish was dead.. I just want to know what to do!!!

Answer
Hi Shannon,
 Do you have any idea what kind of fish they are?  

 If they are mollies/platies or something like that, then you are best to remove the kids because the parents don't take care of them after birth.
