Axololt/Molly Dilemma

Hello all,
It would appear that my axolotl plan has changed quite significantly. My parents, for reasons only other parents will understand, have refused to allow me another tank for my axolotl.
Currently I have:
29 Gallon Tropical Community
29 Gallon Molly Tank
40 Gallon Goldfish Tank
Now, the Molly Tank is the tank I want to use for my axolotl but I know that they cannot be housed with mollies. Also, the reason I got the 29 G for my mollies was because they were bullies in my Community. It isn't as simple as putting them in there. To make things even more difficult, my parents have said that when I got the mollies, I made a commitment to their care and they said that I couldn't rehome them (also, I have had them since the start and I would feel really guilty if I had to rehome them). Unfortunately I have already had my Axolotl ordered into the shop especially and I am obliged to take it (having already payed for it). What do I do?!
I may have forgotten a few things so I will add them if I remember them. Thank you in advance,

Can you rehome the goldfish?

TexasDomer No, I have become incredibly attached to my goldfish and my mum loves having them in the kitchen. It's really difficult because I love all my fish and I feel guilty for even considering rehoming them.

It really doesn't seem like you have much choice but to rehome the inhabitants in one of those tanks since the axolotl can't go in any of them. I understand it may be hard to part with them but it would be in the best interest of the fish if you can't keep them all.

Agreed el337 I may have to persuade my parents that it would be cruel not to rehome them.

Yes, I have faced tough choices too and still feel a bit guilty sometimes but ultimately I keep my fish for my own satisfaction and the decision was right for me. There is usually two sides to everything and I'm 80% satisfied with my decisions.

I hope your parents allow you to make your decisions as you seem pretty mature about it and it's an important part of human development.
