I've updated this popular article from Aquarium/Pond Answers:
www.aquarium-pond-answers.com/2007/10/mollies-in-aquariums.html
Excerpt:
"With this "disease", The Molly Fish stay in one place and wiggle, rock, wag and/or "shimmy" (hence the term "Shimmies").
Molly Disease generally is not technically a disease at all, rather a condition/syndrome brought on generally by poor water conditions; electrolytes in particular.
Often this is missed by many aquarium keepers who lack two important test kits; the KH & even more important GH Test kits (either liquid or test strips). So please do not rely on only a Master Test Kit if this is all you have."
