I have 4 mollies in the tank now that I was planning on rehoming but I would keep the in there if I could. Wouldn't the mollies eat the fry of the shell dwellers tho?

The shellies would have no problem defending their fry. Just make sure there not all the tank has shells, so the mollies can get out of the shellies face every now and then. Please post pics!
Shelldwellers are very resilient and actually like a high flow rate/water movement as the lake they are from is tidal. I would steer clear of the mollies as if they try and enter the colonies territory every adult will mob them.., I would just commit to the shellies and fill the tank half full with escargot shells (east to get online from any french delicatessen site) and you will be very happy. I kept multies but brevis could work just as well.. just do your research and get the species you want and yo will be very happy. I loved my Shelly tank and having written this and seriously considering setting up the 100ltr I have in the garage for another! Lol
I ordered some shells and gonna pick up some sand this weekend. I was thinking about doing just the sand substrate with shells and nothing else in the tank.
Thought I had somebody that wanted the mollies but it turns out they don't. My gf told me to throw them in the rb piranha tank

^^ you will get a few negative responses on here for feeding live fish to RBP but I used to use Mollies and platies as live food for my pike cichlids and fahaka.
