Answers:
Mollies need live plants, bright light, and temperatures between 75 and 85 degrees to thrive. They also need more vegetation in their diet that the other fish you listed. If they do not get this 'green' food, they will not last long. As far as getting along with the fish you listed, there is little to worry about. If you decide to put them in, find some food formulated expressly for mollies, (the other fish can eat this as well) and get some live plants (I liked Water Sprite) as well. You might also consider some Elodea bunches every now and then, (it usually doesn't last long, and will have to be replaced).
I think they will work fine with your other fish as long as the tank is not too crowded. Good for you for rescuing the dalmatian mollies! They really are pretty fish. :)
They'll do fine I believe. Each fish needs at least 2 gallons of water though but they'll do good. i have a 29 gallon tank and i have 10 fish one neon died though :o(
