with mollies it might turn into a chore,, they do not defend the fry [they eat them].
In fact I watched a huge pregnant molly have a few fry at a time over the coarse of 3 days. She ate everyone of them. Mollies drop [fry] every thirty days or so, but it seems like an eternity.
On the other hand, mollies are wonderful,, my favorites are red albino and white albino..
I love albinos ;]
You might get more fry out of black mollies, but this might just be my situation.
---I have alot more endlers and guppies than mollies, it might be more rewarding to set them up a tank or bucket. lol you can fit alot more female guppies in a 10 gallon than you can mollies ,,
also,, my male mollies fight the females,,
male guppies WILL mate with any and everything [all day]
- this includes but is not limited to
-other male guppies -neon tetras -the gravel vac -you
so give them 5 females per male guppy,, whatever the ratio, you will get your feeders..

put another pair of convicts on the other side. they produce more fry then any other breeding pair
I recently bought 2 pregnant platy's and one dropped about 50 fry a couple of days ago. The other one still has a few days left before she is ready. I just hope I can get the fry out of the breeder net before the next platy has to go in. But if you are wanting feeders for your P then I would stick with the convict babies. They are much larger than any livebearer.
Livebearers can sometimes have fry 2-3 times without a male present .With several weeks between batches! 
hello...
i would suggest kribensis... they are easy and really exciting... my ones had fry about 3 weeks ago and they look after them really well.
