Lump(Growth) Under Mollie(Just Gave Birth)

[danny ..]

hi guys , iv had my tank running great for a while now no ammonia etc and my fish are all breading etc which is good but iv got a orange mollie which was pregnent,its clear she has had them as she is smaller etc and i missed my chance to get her in a breeding trap but iv noticed now she has a small round growth(lump) growing out of where she would give birth it looks like.i would say she gave birth bout two,three days ago!! she also seems a bit more shy now staying out the way and not moving round much etc
any ideas would be good ,thanks Dan p.s its small round white and just in front of the small fin u sex them from underneath.

sounds like the birthing tube..i wouldnt worry too much. Just monitor her behavior. Liekly will resolve on its own.
cheers
