I am a first time aquarium owner. My molly, who did not look pregnant at all to me, had three fry on Tuesday night -- perhaps a few more had already been eaten before I found them. I read that it is less stressful to the mother if she is not placed in a breeding tank, so I left her alone and continued feeding her as normal. However, I only found two more fry after keeping a close eye on the tank, and I could tell she was still in labor because she had a few little red lines (her babies' tails) sticking out of her belly. I put her in the breeding tank so I could keep an eye on her, but there has been no change; no more babies, but she still has tails protruding from her body. Tonight is Saturday. She has been in labor for four days. Is there something wrong with her? I read online that mollies only take a few hours to deliver all their young, but I don't know how to help her.
