My Mickey Mouse platy has this bulge at her anal fin that looks like undeveloped fry. It has been sticking out for 3 hours now. Will she drop any fry? I see many eyes in her belly. She is still eating well and running away from the other fish. Please advise. I've been sitting up watching her to see what happens! :) thanks!!!

I'm afraid it's really hard to tell what's going on with your platy.
 
Really all you can do is keep an eye on her and keep your fingers crossed.
 
Well it's now 7 hours later. Her little bulge is gone and she is active with no signs of distress. I don't know for sure if she had babies. Her tummy still looks big and the birthing tube is still protruding. I still see little black spots inside her. Could she have aborted some babies and still hanging on to the rest?
 
Yes, it's possible.
