Answer 1

Well, just make sure not to buy all those fish at once and to properly cycle your tank. Her is how to cycle a tank-  http://www.firsttankguide.net/cycle.php

That sounds like a reasonable amount of fish,. Plus the 1 gallon per inch of fish rule is bs, who in there right mind would put a 10 inch Oscar in a 10 gallon tank?!?!?!?! That sounds like a good amount, only the bottom of your tank will be awfully empty! I say don't get the mollies, and instead get 6 kuhli loaches, OR 6 cory cats! Your choice. Good luck with your new tank!=)

Edit, 4 got about the pix!!
