How many livebares should I keep?

I have a 10 gallon tank as of right now I have 2 angelfish 2 platies 2 dalmtion mollies and 2 balloon mollies. I have been told that I am way over stocked and that I need to get rid of my angelfish. So should I get rid of any others?

I'd only keep 4 livebearers in the tank.

with proper maintenace, you can keep your platies and mollies as the other thread talked about ..but once they spawn, you will need a tank for their babes...10 gals or more to grow out in ....

What is the smallest size tank I could keep the babies in untill I either give them away or purchase a new tank? Or how long can they stay in there depending on the size you guys give?
