Saltwater mollies or other feeders

I just buy regular Molles from Petco or Petsmart and place them in a plastic critter cage (with added holes for increased flow) in my sump. In the last 6 months I think I have lost 2 mollies within 24 hours of putting them directly into salt water, not too bad. I usually buy 4 or 6 at a time, then feed my Angler once ever 4 to 5 days.
Good question as mine had babies right after i got them but now it's been a while and i havnt seen anymore babies. The first ones seemed to all perish in the hang on filter or gobbled down.
they are in full salt so i won't if that prevents spawning.
Wanted to build up a population before setting loose in tank or sump.

I usually buy a mix of males and females in hopes that the have babies. It's worked 2 times for me....but the fry just get sucked into the filtration. I'm not at all set up to try and grow those babies into edible size snacks. If you had a separate tank set up to rear the fry, I think t is entirely possible....and I'd be jealous!
I had one give birth in a nanocube 14. The babies swam around or a bit and I came back like 30 minutes later to collect them and they were already lost to the filter compartment. My guess is you need to snatch them up quick and have something like a 10g up and running with a bubbler in foam like Fitz19d said...
