Unless you want to change the water every day, yes, they would do much better in a properly cycled tank with at least 5 gallons of swimming space. Look up the ammonia cycle of a fish tank to see why having a tank with a filter to keep nitrifying bacteria is beneficial.

Yes, you should have a tank for your dalmatian mollys. A bowl is not suitable for a long-term living environment for fish as it lacks proper filtration, aeration, and enough space for them to swim and thrive. A tank will provide a more suitable and healthy habitat for your fish.

How do you stop your fish from gasping for air?
If your fish are swimming up to the surface and gasping for air it a sure sign that there is not enough oxygen in the tank; another sign may be an increased flaring of the gills. You need to buy a filter for the tank (or if you already have one a stronger filter) in order to more efficiently replenish the oxygen supply. If the 'tank' is a small bowl, change the water more often. You don't take them out of the water.

How long can lizards live without drinking any water?
Even though lizards maintain out in the dry deserts, they still do need water everyday. If you own a small tank, leave a small container or bowl of fresh water in the corner everyday. If its a big tank then you can leave a bigger bowl full of water, because lizards also like to jump into the water to have baths.

You have 8 molly fish in a 30 gal tank and they are developing a film on them Why?
The rules of successfull fishkeeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (A Molly is at least a 3" fish) :- Every tank needs a fully cycled filter running permanently. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Mollys need to be kept at around 75F in neutral to slightly alkaline water pH 7. to 7.2 . One teaspoonfull of aquarium salt per gallon of water will also be good for Mollys. Mollys should be fed as much dried food as they will eat in 15 minutes each morning and evening. If you follow the above basics your Mollys will live a reasonably happy life. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that the fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened life span.
