I have a 10 gal community tank with swamp darters, a couple of mollies, molly fry, and juvenile flagfish, this week I have been losing on average 1 flagfish daily, all others seem fine, water tests good, victims lose color at about 1inch become lethargic, and stay quietly on surface, seems to be only males ? my first hatchlings, also, our local spring fed river crystal river has suffered badly from lyngbya and other filamentous algae, many are struggling with how to control it and restore water clarity, could stocking flaggies, sheephead minnows, mollies, and other algae loving little fl make a substantial contribution??

If they're native, you're not going to make a significant difference in their population by stocking them. If conditions are favorable for their survival and the algae is a good food source, they will reproduce on their own. You might introduce some diseases though.
