Okay, calm down.
Can you tell us how much water your tank holds in litres?
It sounds like some sort of infection (I can't remember which). From what I've heard the shaking could be flicking? I'm not really sure. You'll have to wait for a more experienced reply to help with medication.
Try posting this topic in a more approptiate place like 'Tropical Fish Emergencies', this will get you much more replies. Do that as soon as you can :good:
Also, you need to pick your stocking better next time. One male and female molly are going to be aggressive to each other anyway, so you need to at least put another female in. Also, Bettas are aggressive too, and mollies can be quite boisterous, so keep an eye on him just in case.
I hope he pulls through :good:
