Default re: live bears. we just had babies.

Hi all.. new to fish. and of course we ended up with prego molly from the store.. she has just given birth and we had no idea until we saw the fry. question is it is midnight.. on sat evening. what can we do. to save some of the fry . i dont have a breeder nest.. not sure what that even looks like.. i dont have another tank either.. ..... is there anything we can do other than hope the fry make it..
.. we have two mollies in a large tank.. some plants but no where near what i have seen online .. and a few .. ghost cat fish. inthere too.. Any idea.

I would say your best bet would be to put some of the plants closer together to give the fry a hideout, and hope for the best.
