I would personally take her out of the breeding net because this could stress her out greatly. Your profile says you have a 30g tank with a pair of breeding convict cichlids, is this the tank the molly is in? My personal opinion is that it's best to let fish give birth in the water and then try and fish the babies out into the net afterwards. I appreciate that this isn't easy and that you may have to be watching the tank over a prolonged period but it's far less stress on the mother. Best of luck! I know that my platys give birth every 4 weeks or so and I believe this is the same for all livebearers? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
