one of my swordtail girls is having baby she passed 2 fine but the 3rd fry i think is stuck its been half hanging out now for 40 mins.
should i help her and how should i go about doing so?

should i float her in a net and gently stroke her side to see if it will pop out?

if your sure its a fry and not a prolapse gently lift her out and use tweezers to pull it out or your fingers if very gental,
hope this helps

How's she doing now?
I haven't dealt with this before, but I'd do the same as donna.
