And the male is following her around like a crazy fish. All I have to
segregate the female from the rest are one of those square nets you hang on
the side of the tank. Someone posted in reply to my other opst about my
preganat sword and molly that these would probably stress and may kill the
pregnant females. So, short of buying another entierly new tank. What should
I do? Let the fry be eaten? I have a one gallon bowl with rocks and a small
fake plant with nothing in it, but wouldnt the fish die in that? Other than
goldfish I mean.

Rather than putting the female into the hanging net, leaver he in the
community. If it is not planted heavily, buy some cheap plants to
provide refuge. The community will catch the slow and smaller fry
leaving you with some survivers. It slows the population growth, but
I finally separated the boys from the girls. That is the only sure
growth policy.

=====================
If there's a pet shop near you and you really want to save the fry, then use
the net but put plants in it! Try to find Java Moss, Cobomba - what every
looks fluffy and small leafy. Give her a place to hide where she can feel
safe and secure to give birth. Don't put her in the gallon bowl. Without
aeration she'll suffocate and the ammonia will build rapidly.

Floating something in your main tank is probably the go
Think about what you have on hand
a kitchen strainer
or even an icecream container
it aint that tricky just something that can float
make some water flow or add an airstone
google 'fry saver DIY'
and ya should get some good hits
