i have three balloon mollies and one just had babies. I wanted to know what type of live plants i could put in the tank that won't harm the fish and will provide great hiding places for the small fry.

Lemme try to help Bettachris out here... since spelling isn't his strong suit...
Anacharis is good (also called Elodea), but it may rot if the water is too warm.
Java Moss is perfect for this. Attach it to some decorations, and it will provide a perfect place for any fry to hide from their parents.
Ludwigia is nice to have, but generally requires higher lighting.
I would suggest some Java Moss, Java Fern, Anubias, and Dwarf Hairgrass. These are not light demanding and will provide shelter for you fish.

most anything, anacris is poplar. it thrives in coldwater but it will do fine in a community tank. It is very leafy so it provides cover for the fry and it is a great oxygenator.
Java moss is another plant. it is a pain with HOB filters, but if you have a sponge filter it is great for cover.
red ludgiue is another, good cover and great plant.
Really anything is fine.
