the molly's eye looks normal but looks like there is white film over his eye, what can it be? what treatments to use. All the other fish are poking at him, so I put him in a breeding net is that ok, I don't want to infect the other fish neither. What can I do??? Please HELP Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming that he's in the 5 gallon...
Protecting him from the other fish is probably a good idea, as long as the breeding net is big enough for him.
Cloudy eye is usually caused by stress, malnutrition, or poor water quality.
Check your water parameters, then do daily small (1 gallon or less on your 5 gallon tank) water changes until levels are optimal. If they were already optimal, still do a few water changes.
If eye doesn't start to clear after this, try adding other foods, and/or vitamins.
Hope this helps...
