As long as you do it gradually you can turn your gups into salt water fish. So don't worry about a little salt on your gups. Makes 'em a tad tastier. :-)

The local petshops give away any fry for free if you find them in their tanks here. Much to my surprise I ended up with two strange looking fry from a gup/ballon molly tank. Yep balloon mollies, they are still in quarantine, of course. I hadn't planned on getting any though. Do a search on the compatability of the fish with gupps. I do believe some of the regulars on this site have mollies, so ... you may have some answers from those who have more experience on that particular fish.

I wouldn't put mollies with gups. Not only are they much bigger than gups, they are definite bullies (to each other and other fish). They also eat a whole lot so they will end up eating all the food and your gups will have nothing left. I had a pair of dalmatian mollies in with my gups for a while, until the mollies (especially the female) started chasing away the gups from the feeding corner as soon as I arrived. Then I said enough is enough so I put them in a 5 gal tank of their own. Then the female molly hounded the male relentlessly until at last I sold both of them.
