They usually get transformed with live plants and over populate with over feeding.

That's my first guess. Unless they end up being live babies.

My Molly's also don't seem interested in eating them, but they're still new to the tank.

Are you sure? I didn't manage to see any little 'bubble' that would resemble an egg. But I have had ONE snail appear in my tank.

Nope, there are different kinds. They'll mature and look more like worms, build up against the glass. They're hard to get rid of 1/2

You need to get a good bio filter and look into chemical agents safe for what's in your tank but will kill the worms

month until I finally added lights and fish to it. Just changed a lot of the water, everything was fine in the test but some ammonia.

Just scrape it off and keep up with regular water changes. Don't leave the light on longer than 8 hrs. Cut back on the amount of food too.

Why not leave the light on? I turn it off at night. Also yes I cut back on food too. Amazing how overfeeding for 2 days can show symptoms.

Algae thrives off of light. Too much light equals algae growth. Rule of thumb is usually 8 hrs.
