I know this is difficult and stressful for you. It's terrible to see your fish sick and dying.
Mollies can do okay in freshwater, and many people keep them that way, but they do so much better in brackish. My mollies kept getting fungus, and one had the shimmies. The one with the shimmies would point straight up and vibrate. Since I switched over to brackish I have not had a single problem.
I use that instant ocean salt. Since you won't need much you can just get the small box, it cost me 8 dollars. It doesn't have to be exact from one water change to the next, because in their natural environment it varies anyway.
There was an excellent website about brackish tanks that helped me that I will try to find.
