Any tips on how to get my Molly to give birth safely?

Are angelfish tropical or saltwater, and how big do they usually get? Because I'd like to get some, but I only have a ten gallon, and I want to know whether or not to wait until I get a bigger tank.

Angelfish is a bit of a confusing term. There are freshwater angelfish and saltwater angelfish. Neither species would do well in a 10 gallon.
my sig has been godawful ever since i got an account and im finally gettin around to prettyin it up so plz deal with it for a lil longer ty ur a peach

My mother has passed away, and I won't be as active for awhile. Sorry to everybody who needs me, just send me a PM.

I dont think there is much to do... I've read that some balloon mollies are very prone to complications because of their odd shape though. I wish you guys luck.

both;
Fresh water

salt water

but as indigo stated neither can go in a 10G, for freshwater angelfish they need a tank with a hight of atleast 15inches as they are tall fish and their fins wont form properly/ they will be stunted in a smaller tank

Alright, I'll wait until I get a bigger tank 8-)

Any suggestions for what to put in my tank after I set it up and cycle it?

Thanks :3 I am planning to move her in a few weeks when she is about to explode of fatness so she doesn't stress and abort the pregnancy. I will keep her in a smaller, well planted tank so when the babies are born she won't eat them. Then when I'm sure she's done I will move her back. I hope it works out!

3-4 female betta
or
10 neon tetra (less if your adding bottom feeders but shouldn't be kept in a group smaller then 6-7)
or
1 male betta (or put a divider in for 2 males with 5G each)
or
5 mollies
or
7 guppies

glass/cherry shrimp (the cherry shrimp can go in as bottom feeders for any of the above, though the betta may try to eat them)
3-4 cory cat fish could also be used as bottom feeders
