ok this has happened to me before!
have u done a water check? u may find the water is not quiet correct! this can cause a bladder infection! i have a book which tells me if the fish r bobbing or seem 2 be sinkin after a min of swimming this could be the case!
im not sure how u can cure this! but it sounds just like what i had due as a change in the water of my tank and unfortunatly the molly did not make it b4 i could go and buy the water soloution!
good luck!

What's your tank size?
Water stats? ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?
How long have fish been in tank for?
How new is your tank?

honestly mate ive had this happen to me and it does sound like swim bladder. happend to my black molly and she died. erm i think you boil peas, the pop them out the skin and mush them up and feed them to her that should cure it. if you have a birthing net put her in there. good luck let me know what happens becaus i HATE swim bladder infections with a passion.
