This molly I bought couple of week ago, gave birth few days ago and I shifted her back to a community tank. But since 2 days she is being lethargic. She is settling down at the bottom and is slow in receiving feed. She is not gasping for air nor I could see any white spot on her. What could be the problem is it postpartum stress or something else. All the other fish in. The tank seem fine.
My new molly mama acting weird... Help!

You may have moved her too soon so she is stressed. I'd put a divider in the tank so that she can recuperate from the delivery in peace. In the future, you want to use a birthing tank large enough to add a divider in it so that after giving birth, the female can be placed on one side of the divider to recuperate. Once the fish is acting and feeding normally again, then she can be placed into the community tank.

Thank you! Yes it helped I indeed hurried myself in separating mum from it's fries in fear that she will eat them. I hope she will get back healthy and the time heal her pain
