    Sounds like your Mollie is sick, all aquarium keepers should have a 2--5 Gallon hospital tank for sick fish. I would go to the pet shop and buy a 2 gallon tank, at home wash with HOT water then let it cool down to room temoperature, once there, I'd fill that tank half with water from your regular aquarium and the rest with tap water, Let all settile for about 5 hours then transfer the sick Mollie to that smaller tank, also at the pet shop ask about the medicine to add to that smaller tank.

    Sounds like your Mollies both of them have an eye disease which you can treat, you should have a seperate 2 gallon tank as a hospital tank for your sick fish, all their diseases are very contagious.

    Not totally sure without seeing it but sounds like a bacterial infection. With any treatment you may or may not use, first cut back on the feeding a little :)

    mollys tend to favour brackish water...are you using any salt in yours...it sounds like they have bacterial infections....but go to a pet store for a cure.
