If I HAD to choose, I would choose the baby one. The mother has already lived. But I would definitely want to save both. I don't like to see things die.

The baby if it is a girl! Well I would still save the baby because it just came to the world. The mother has been here a long time.

mother fish. She's established herself in this world, so she probably has a higher rate to survive and reproduce.
Save the baby fish and there's a good chance it gets eaten a bit later.
why are we talking about fish?

Both, if I could.
If I HAD to choose, the mother. Unless she's on death's door herself, she has shown that she's capable of reproducing again (if a livebearer, likely to reproduce for another six months without another male). The baby is too risky - it may have a genetic defect that will prevent its survival to adulthood, plus it's size makes it more vunerable to predation, pollutants, diseases, etc..

Both, it's not like they are both falling off a building and I could only help the one up before the other falls.

Mother. Baby fish are vulnerable anyway.

Both of them, its not any harder to treat multiple fish...and they most likely have the same disease.
