Default molly fry question

I have 28 molly fry and they are about a month and a half old(about the size of a small neon tetra) and they stay on a 35 gallon tank. On a separate fish bowl I have a comet goldfish that's about 3 inches. Is it a bad idea to move the goldfish into the tank where all the mollies are?

Yes because they have different water requirements. Get the gold fish a 30 gal or put into a pond.

Yes. Molly's prefer warmer temperature if I'm not mistaken, while goldfish are very much a coldwater fish. Besides, mixing tropical fish with goldfish is never a good idea, as goldfish are VERY dirty.

My goldfish are in a heated tank, so temperature doesn't matter. But yes, they will try to eat the fry.
