mollies, nice fish. same as any tropical live bearer.
all seem to be very prone to white spot, mainly because their kept in fresh water when they are infact a brackish fish so get stressed quikly.
try platies, much hardier, much easier to keep.
be careful, i had a similar idea with guppies, and when you end up having to sacrifice nearly 200 or so half grown fry because no pet shop will take them (they get live bearers 10 a penny from dealers) its a bit of a sobering experience.
good luck
