She ate them, she spit them out and other fish ate them, or if the other day was weeks ago you might have fry in the tank that will be eaten soon.

The best way is to put the pregnant mother in a tank by herself so she is not harrased. This can be as small as 10-20g.

The other fish stress her. Also she can get hungry and just give up. Mine do it all the time! Going to try putting my firefish in her own tank today they mated yesterday. Hopefully this method works! I'm tired of all the miscarriages.

Glad to hear that! A month I think. It was a month since the last mating of firefish.
