I just setup my new 60 liters tank 5 days ago and i have 7 guppys 5 neon tetras, and i just bought 2 black mollys, one is swiming a lot but the other one since it came is always at the bottom literaly not swiming and almost not moving, sometimes the other goes and stays with the molly at the bottom but she stays with the movement of the tank for not moving.

Did you cycle the tank before adding the fish? Do you by any chance have a test kit and know what the water parameters are? How long ago did you add the mollies?
i used the tetra aquasafe product on the water before i added the fish 5 days ago, unfortunatly i dont have a test kit, i added the mollies 2 hours ago.
It may just be adjusting to its new home. If I were you, I would order an API Freshwater Master Test Kit online or pick one up from the store, the test strips are not reliably accurate so I wouldn't even bother getting those. It is highly recommended to quarantine new fish, in case they carry any diseases. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the molly?
It could have been squished when it was netted. Does the other one look normal? If it is dying so quickly the only thing you can really do is keep the water clean and not disturb it too much. Do you have a filter and heater?
I am sorry I can't be more helpful 
you think it mybe be more helpfull if i move her to a diferent place and some new water and some salt to the water?
Hi, how is she doing? You could separate her from the others if you wanted, salt would not be necessary I don't think. If you have an empty tank you could keep her in there
Yes I added her to a separate container changed 30% of the water and put it attached to the tank just to keep the water at the right temperature tomorrow morning I will see how is she doing
Sounds good. I hope she is alright!
