Do you really believe that fish have the ability to stay naturally small in a space almost less than its natural size?
Actually im not a newbie i was just saying my opinions. I have a 29 gallon with a picus cat 7 tiger barbs and gourami,and a sun cat. All living perfectly.

Yea... its a little bit rude to tell someone they are a newbie when you really don't know. It could have just been mis-information he got over the years or something about pirahans.
Anywhoo, a 10gallon tank can become an awesome community tank with very small fish. I know a lot of people like the bigger fish, but I personally love very small fish.
My 10gallon has the following (just to give you an idea):
2 Albino corys
2 Bronze corys
3 Zebra Danios
2 Honey Flame gouramis
I plan on adding maybe 2 more fish, but this is only because I am very strict with my cleaning process, so overstocking by a few inches really wont be a problem for me.
A newbie can easily be someone who has kept fish for awhile if they are filled with mis-information. And still believing that fish "grow" to their environment = newbie to me.
Why not stick some pirahana in the 29 gallon tank. I am sure it will learn to live with those other fish. (that would be sarcasm of course).
A fish can't choose its instincts anymore than it can choose how its genes work.

Let me tell you what happened when I put 5 small ones in a 29 gallon tank. They lived "fine" until they got about 5 inches and then they started eating each other. I ended up with 2 left. I have pictures if you do not believe me. Anyways you could put a couple 1 inch piranhas in a 10 gallon for like 6 months and you probably would have no problems. Past that I think you would need a bigger tank.
Well, I'm going to say my opinion say (1) thank you for not getting the piranhas and (2) I feel bad for the mollies. I hate seeing bad things happen to good fish.
