You are like severely overstocked in that 10gal tank..ever hear of 1inch of fish per gallon ? The common plecs get HUGE (not to mention the bioload they produce) as do the clown loaches...I hope you have a MASSIVE new tank plan asap unless you plan on returning more than half of the fish to your lfs.
The molly's arent the problem here, the commons get 12" and more, the clownloaches 12" as well and frankly have no business being in a 10 gal. tank period imho. Did you do any research on these fish before purchasing them and putting them in a 10 gal? Do you have the funds to set up a 55 gal. tank or better for these fish? I hope you have a plan...
You'll have between 90 and 100 inches of fish once they're all full grown. Possibly more than that. If I were you I'd exchange the plecos for otos, loachs for dwarf corys, get rid of at least 10 mollys and exchange the 2 gourami's for dwarf gouramis. Even then you'll still be over stocked. If you want that many fish, get a bigger tank.
Ditto, your poor fish need more space or your poor tank needs less fish. Everyone suggested against you getting more fish and expecially bigger fish, but you still got them, so I think the only responsible and humane thing to do is to start saving every penny you can get your hands on and get a huge tank and I would still take a few back. It's just not fair to the fish.
