Fry's stuck!

I noticed one of my young female endlers was getting chased around by the males too much so I decided to give her a rest and moved her to the 10 gallon fry tank. Well, she gave birth to a tiny fry today! I don't see any more but the problem is there's a fry stuck. I can see the tail sticking out and I don't know how long it's been stuck but it looks dead which it probably is. How can I help her? She seems like she's in a lot of pain and has been swimming around with the fry stuck for quite some time now.

 

Good morning,

I think I would have to let Mother Nature take her course on this one.

Best wishes for your fish.

Ken

 

I wouldn't interfere. You might damage her internally if you yank the fry out.

 

I'd fast her for a couple days and see how she does. Sorry about your female

 

She's not looking good, I don't think she'll make it.

 

Babies will get stuck from time to time.
What I've tried to help the process was not to cause stress to the mother.
(Meaning, I try to stay away from looking too close or maybe a couple drops of Seachem Prime)
Who knows what damages will take place when a mother giving birth is under stress.

 

She didn't make it, I guess that's what happens when you have young females giving birth, the fry get stuck more easily.

 

I am sorry for your loss.

 

Sorry......
