They are almost 2 weeks old but I also have in my 30 gallon tank 1 red blood parrot, 3 giant danios, and 1 chinese algae eater. I have a friend who is taking some of them. This is my first aquarium.

The friend who wants to take them has mollys and tetras in the tank. What should I do with them? I would like them to live.

With that assortment of fish, they will only be fairly safe even at adult size. The blood parrot would think of them as food if they are small at all.
EDIT: With mollies and tetras, as soon as they are large enough not to fit in the other fishes mouths they will be fine. Should be about 3-4 weeks to get them to that size.

Just make sure that they are quite a bit larger than the blood parrots mouth. It's better to be on the safe side and put them back in too big than too small :(

Your friend might have better luck if they keep smaller tetras, but it depends on the molly. Some Mollies will eat fish they can fit in their mouth, so you should let your babies grow a little in order to avoid tragedy.
