Pygmy Cory Catfish can be kept with those fish, providing you have at least 10-gallons, (though Mollies really need more than 10-gallons, so I hope you do,). Cory Cats can be kept with them in 20+ gallons, with 30 gallons or more being ideal. Most other Catfish grow to be quite large, and require aquariums from 30-gallons to, well, a pond.
You can look up Catfish profiles here http://www.peteducation.com:80/category.…
along with other fishy info.
By the way, no fish, including Catfish will, as stated by another answerer, clean your tank. Plecos and other algae-eating fish will take care of algae, and Catfish are scavengers, meaning they pick up food off the bottom of your tank, but they still need to be fed, and your tank maintained as normal.
