I have a pregnant marbled molly who is HUGE. She is hovering on the bottom of the tank but isn't giving birth. She's clearly in distress. I see here push, but no one is coming out.

Is there anything I can do to help her?

TIA so much!

Oh boy! She looks uncomfortable. I hope those babies come soon. I don’t know the answer but hope your mollie is okay.
