Right now I have gubbies and mollies in my tank, if I bought a angelfish would it act predatorily?

Possibly, but probably not.
It definitely would not eat the mollies, and it would only eat the guppies or the tetras if they were very small.
Angelfish aren't very aggressive but they can be expected to eat a fish that will fit in its mouth, so use your discretion.
I have angels and tetras in my 100 gallon tank and no one gets eaten.
However, do make sure you have enough room for an angelfish. 30 gallons would be the minimum for one angelfish.

Ian is ideal. no count number how nicely the mother and father had cared for his or her fry, they're going to turn on them in the experience that they favor to. If I were you, i'd remove the older fry and positioned them right into a separate tank, or your community angel tank. If there is sufficient flowers and hiding areas on your community tank, then there should be no difficulty with the different angels bothering the little ones. Or, once you've a separate 10 or 20 gallon, you need to bypass the eggs to a diverse tank and take care of them your self. somewhat confusing, yet not not a chance! i'm hoping this replaced into efficient, and good success with the little ones! :)

A smaller angel fish is OK but once they get big they will kill other fish. They are best kept with something the same size as them.

Angelfish are a aggressive fish, so not sure though had one that killed a male beta of mine.

yes they will and your mollies will also beat up your guppies. get a dragonfish. they're always hanging out under a rock and tend to leave everyone alone. Plus they look really cool!

i used to have them. the angel fish ate what was smaller than itself, and killed others.
