I have some mollies in my 75L tank, my sister got tree small goldfish from someone who didnt want them anymore. She's got them in a bowl and I can't stand watching them in such a small space.
Is it ok to put them into my tank with a temperature of 73F (22-24d Calcius)???
 
I would get them and start a smaller tank for the mollies. They like higher temps and some salt. The goldfish will also have to compete with the mollies for food.

I'd get a much bigger tank for the goldfish. 75L is only around 20gal...too small for three goldfish. And the mollies are better off staying in the 20gal than being moved to something smaller.

Actually Kim, Mollies do not require salt to live a long and happy life.

I read a good article in TFH the other day by Bill Allen. It also says that Mollies do not need salt. It was a very educational article, I think.
 
As Far as the goldfish go take them back they need 80 gallons and are cold watrer fish. As for the molly debate while wild mollies do best in brackish some domesticated breeds do very well in freshwater.
