I think they are molly fry.
Albino sharks don't readily breed in captivity so we can rule them out. Tiger barbs fry are very tiny and the chance of them surviving (without being eaten by the other fishes) is very slim.
On the other hand, mollies being livebearing fishes, give birth to fully formed, free swimming, quite large (compared to egglaying fish) fry. They also have fast reflexes so they can avoid being eaten. The probability that your fry are mollies is great.
