My husband have 3 dalmation mollies and today I notice 4 babies.?
Answers: Get some java moss so the babies have some places to screen and a food source. Don't take them out unless you hold a tank that have the same sea conditions as the original container.
if you want the babies to make it you are best to put them within a little lattice type thing, that sits contained by the tank... heres a pic of it

and when the other fish looks primed to give birth, you can put her surrounded by there also.
Usually if mollies are all right fed they will not put away their young, but this one have already demonstrated that you can't trust him or her. My advice is, remove the babies. If possible pack the new container or bowl with river from their original cistern.
Since there is a place for babies to skin out in the container, I wouldn't remove the one that may or may not be pregnant.
Do you have another reservoir set up that is prepared for fish? I wouldn't move a fish if you don't. Some places sell little shut within type things that float in your cistern so you can put them in at hand and the other fish can't get to them. This website have some examples of what I'm talking roughly.

I would just exit the babies in near and let temper take its course. Most imagined they will survive without individual eaten, but even if they do finish off up being eat, your mollies will surely breed again. In fact, you may want to suppose of a plan for what you will do when your tank get too overcrowded...it often happen with livebearers.
