Default help im losing molly fry

ok here goes, last weekend i bought 2 silver mollies, 1 of them was dropped at the lfs. i told them i would still take her (no other females) and if she died i would bring her back. once home she was and still is fine, but the night i got her she dropped a brood of fry (15 i think) in the last 2 days i have lost 5 (one other is not doing well) i have tested my water today and i also tested yesterday. ammonia - 0 nitrites- 0 PH 7.8 or so nitrites are a bit high (i will be doing a 25% water change today) between 20-40 ppm

the remaining fry are eating and seem to be doing fine so im not sure if there is even anything i can do. If anyone can think of anything please let me know, they are in a breeder net until i can finish doing the fishless cycle on my fry tank.

thanks
