    You might need to post their photos for us to access their condition. However, if fishes are not interested in food, especially guppies and mollies, I 'm quite sure that they are not feeling well. Firstly, if the temperature of the water is too low (in air conditioned office), they will lose their appetite. Secondly, it could be due to imperfect water parameters (eg. ammonia spike, high nitrite etc). It could also be a pH crashed below 4. Guppies and mollies prefer slightly akaline water. Thirdly, they could be affected by the common diseases like Ick or Dropsy. They should seem to be sprinkled with tiny white spots (pepper like) if contracted with Ick and they should have raised scales (look from top view) if they contracted the latter. There are so many other reasons besides all the above mentioned.
