Our black Molly in our new aquarium started having fry. I save on in a breeding tank, but I'm not sure she is having another as it looks like small fin is protruding, but maybe that's just how they look. Advise?

Mollies will typically drop several fry at once (depending on the size of the female up to 80, although 20-30 is more typical) so she may be dropping more. add as much cover as you can to the tank to maximize the survival of the fry. Alternatively many pet stores sell breeder traps that allow the fry to escape from the mother.

Congrats!
