Are you sure it’s a female and not a male? Usually, mollies aren’t aggressive but every fish has their own personality.this next question has nothing to do with the algae.
I am currently setting up a 55 gallon upgrade from my 15. my female molly is aggressive, she will be moved into the tank tomorrow when I receive the heater. she took a big chunk out of my bettas beautiful fins (he will be staying in 15 gallon) and I don't want to risk any further damage, I love my betta to death. I just put the molly in a breeder net attached to tank until the heater arrives. is this cruel? she seems upset but shes so mean to all the other fish and I can't have her fighting the betta. will she be okay in the breeder net for the night and morning?

It’s not cruel. She can survive in the breeder net. Its in the 15 gallon right? Not the unheated 55?
the breeder net is in the 15 gallon. yes, I'm sure shes a female from her fins. she bullies my male molly the most and sends him down to live in the plants. shes much larger then him. the only fish she left alone was the betta, until now. of course a day before she gets a new huge tank. its probably because shes cooped up in the 15 gallon, she claimed the whole front of the tank as her territory. the store I bought them from said theyd be fine in even a 10 gallon and I believed them.
This is a little late, but mollies and guppies will do fine in lower 70s water.
my guppy fry keep ripping up my plants haha. why are they doing that? makes no sense to me View attachment 443441
