Ok from what I can understand your fish is giving birth? Do you have other fish in there with her? I would think that you need to put her in a seperate tank by herself.

she is in a tank all by herself she has given birth to 2 fry the 1st and the 3rd but the 2nd fry is still stuck hanging out of her

She should be able to push it out on her own. Are you sure it's a fry? It's possible that she gave birth to all her fry already and is working on pushing out the afterbirth.

Thanks for the support but things didn't get any better None of the fry were born alive The mother is doing fine so far but she seems a little off to herself
