Most likely she died, or jumped out of the tank after giving birth. Most sucker fish, and catfish will eat dead fish, and fish often sink to the bottom. You should also check the filter, and floor around the tank. I've noticed that livebearers have a great chance of surviving multiple birth if they are fed high protein foods like freeze dried brine shrimp, or blood worms. (Of course you'll still need to feed a flake with veggies in it as well.)

wel a few things,
one she got eaten by another fish,
can be stock under rock decor (is dead)
stock in the filter or filter tub ( was sick or dieing and week)
I would look around your tank u might have to move a few things around and if it has been some time fish do diszolve after the are dead and decayng and if they are sunder rocks even more so.they don't go to the top all the time. (belive me i would with fish)
good luck with your tank

Maybe it's dead below the rocks or maybe the baby fish ate the mother.

dead under rocks... even rocks you thought they wouldn't fit under - happened to me.
or sucked into the filter?
do you have a lid on... if not check behind the tank for a dried up fish!

check under any rocks or decorations you may have, like a castle or decortaion that is hollow. if your fish died, it may have floated underneath. also try shuffling the rocks.
