Ich, a common disease especially in mollies. It will kill them if you give it the chance. My recommendation is to go to your local fish store and get medication for ich, and come in like a brick wall on it. Don't give it a chance, it's taken many of my fish and it's awful.

Just crank your heat up to 86 and do bi-daily wc with gravel vac, if it's just mollies add recommended dosage of aquarium salt as well. No meds

Now it's just a waiting game, keep following the meds instructions.

It takes 2 weeks to cure , and the warmer the temps the faster it is cured , pump up the heat to 86f

Crank up the heat, I find it's the only thing that actually works without upsetting anyone, and my plants are ok with the higher temp too..

I diatom or micro filter helps also it sucks the baby ick out of the tank before they attach to the fish again and the more water movement the better makes it harder for them to find a host
most of the good ick meds are hard on your plants and bio filter
putting all your fish in a small bare ( no plants ,gravel, just a sponge filter ) and treating with meds for 2 weeks or more works and all the ick in the main tank will die without a host in 2 weeks and you can raise the temps i the main tank without fish to around 90f and not hurt the plants

How big is your tank? With the Pleco you should be doing the half dose. You can also get a cheap 5-10 gallon tank from your lfs or a Walmart type store for $10-15 and a cheap filter, probably wouldn't be more than $50 total and it's always good to have a spare hospital/qt tank around. Throw some established media in the filter if you go that route.

If you give us the dimensions we can tell you how many gallons.

 

[MICEY]

depending on what med yes it can kill them
what did you use

 

[MICEY]

thats 84 liter or around 20 gal tank you should use around 8 ml of that med
does it say what is in it
methyl blue, or malicite green are the most common ones used
