It can go on for days, depending on how safe she feels. She may have eaten the fry also.

She still has her black spot and she is still very fat. but no more fry - we have lots of plants in the bottom of the tank for the fry and i have turned off the filter so the fry wont get sucked up.

The fry may all be hiding in the plants. What other fish do you have in beside her?..maybe they have eaten them.

Yeah, it really does depend on a lot of conditions in your tank and all.
Sometimes they shoot them all out after an hour..other times it takes a period of a day or more.
