6. Apart from the obvious solution...
A, B, C and D walk together to A's home, carrying fishes p, q and r.
When A's back is turned, B, who has octuplets to feed, grabs fish p, and runs home.
C and D, seeing this, don't want to miss out, so they grab fishes q and r and run to their respective homes.
A is now fishless, but she did take one home.
