Well i assume you are meaning Mollie.If so that is the trouble never keep goldfish with tropicals.Goldfish like colder water as where tropical need a warmer water.Goldfish like water around 68-70 degrees where Mollies need to be around 70 to 82 but do better around 76.
Goldfish are a high pollutant fish very dirty.
But to be able to give better advice we need to know a few details.
Size of tank? Goldfish need at least 10 gallon per fish if not more.
Are you doing regular water changes?
What type of filtration are you using?
What are your water parameters.
Ammonia?
PH?
Nitrate?
Nitrite?

Are you leaving the light on? This could both kill your fish and cause the tank to be overrun with algae.
