chicken or grain or fox?

Hi guys/gals. I feel like the proverbial mind game when you have to cross make a fox and a chicken and a bag of grain cross a river in your boat. You can't leave the fox and the chicken together alone on the same bank of the river, nor can you leave the chicken alone with the grain. The answer was to take the grain and the fox together on the same boat. To leave the grain and the fox on the other side, and come back for the chicken. Or something.

Anyway, here's my own molly-related riddle: I have 3 tanks. 1 established tank with 3 mollies, 1 established tank with 5 mollies, and one with no fish, nearly cycled. Once that last one is cycled, I'll add mollies to it from these two tanks two by two, allowing for maybe one lot of three. Knowing that:
- 1 male in the 3-molly tank is overharassing the females and should never be with only 1 female
- 1 female in the 3-molly tank is really aggressive and should never be with less than 2 other mollies
- 1 female in the 5-molly tank is really aggressive and should never be with less than 2 other mollies
- 1 female in the 5-molly tank is lovely and my absolute favorite and it would be excruciating if anything happened to her, so I don't want to take any risks with her
- 1 female in the 5-molly tank is heavily pregnant and sick and could do with reduced stress
- there is a male in the 5-molly tank, so he might harass the females if there is less than 2 or 3

Want to play? Tell me in what order I should move what mollies to the cycled tank, with 1 lot of max 3 each week?

I was thinking:

week 1: move all 3 mollies (1 male, 2 females including 1 aggressive female) from the 3-molly tank.
week 2: move my favorite female and the aggressive female from the 5-molly tank, leaving 1 male and 2 females in the 5-molly tank
week 3: move 1 male and 1 female, leaving the sick female behind in her normal tank for treatment and to avoid the stress of moving

Any better suggestions?
