That depends on the size of the dead fish and the size of the tank.

You are, of course, absolutely correct... a dead molly in a small
tank with poor filtration could cause a lot of problems... but to
lose a molly suggests that the tank is of sufficient size to allow
for this.

Its a 20 Gallon. Containing a pretty large Pleco, 2 (was 3) mollys, a
couple of loaches, 2 swords, 4 tetras. Been going about a year and a
half now.

Sounds ok to me... but what about filtration?

The thing with mollies is they like salt, and loaches hate it.

I only used salt that one time to try to treat the Molly. The Molly;s seem
to do pretty good without the salt, as do the other fish. They are a year
old now (Plus however old they were when I got them). Filtration is a 40 GPM
AquaClear.

After this amount of time the molly will be gone anyway so there's nothing
you can do except check water chemistry. If he had a name, maybe burn a
candle for him.
