Your fish may have eaten what she could before she got fed by your Mum and the surviving fry may have had time to learn how to hide before she got hungry again. Same with the filter. Maybe the fry that survivied were the strongest at birth and were lucky enough not to get near the filter.

The water is probably not so filthy as you only have the one adult fish in the tank and the good bacteria would be there to assist in cleaning up after her. Those same bacteria will grow in numbers to cater for the fry growth.

I'm assuming you are in the northern hemisphere where it is summer right now so your tank temp probably isn't a problem.

When you go home to your fish, don't go and do a big water change in one day. Do just 10% on the first and second day and then increase it slowely or you may shock your fish.

Oh okay, thanks for the advice. That makes since. Also, with the water change, thanks again because that's just what I was going to do...a 100% water change right when I get back which is in a few days. So I will do a 10% like you said, thanks again.
