aren;t they the balloon mollies that are deformed?Probably problems with its swim bladder as they are bred in a deformed way

looks like a common algae eater loach and I can;t for the lilfe of me think of the name but they getquite large and aggressive as they grow

The mystery fish looks a lot like a Chinese Algae Eater;

The Molly has a swimbladder disorder, treat with an anti internal bacterial med and cut back on feeding (involve more veg based foods in the diet too).

No worries .
As juveniles they tend to busy themselves away eating algae and just generally being a good quiet little community fish. But as they grow larger and more mature they start to go off the algae and start becoming aggressive & territorial towards the other fish in the tank. This behavior gets worse until they turn into a very large & beautiful but rather anti-social fish that needs a more protein based diet. They can develop a nasty habit of sucking onto the sides of flat bodied fish (like Angels, Discus, Gourami's etc) and nomming their slime coats off, as well as attacking other bottom dwelling fish.

You need to move that CAE to another tank ASAP. I know someone who lost an angel, killed by 3in CAE
