Hey everyone! I've never had a fish give birth on my before, and i'm almost positive my female molly is pregnant. Like i said i've never dealt with fish babies, so if she does give birth what do i need to do? i don't have a spare tank, and she's currently in a 29 gallon with 2 other male mollies, about 15 tetras of mixed kinds, 1 angelfish, and 2 corydoras. Any advice would help!

Also, what can i do to help ensure she does give birth? water is about 77 degrees, ph 7, nitrates 20 ppm

Sounds like they will be running a gauntlet from the start!  All you can do without a separate tank is either get/make a breeder box for them to be isolated in or fill a corner with real or fake plants for them to hide in.  Those tetras, angel and even their parents will be gunning for them as soon as they are born.

Post pictures so we can better get you prepared.  Of both the tank and mom!
