I tried searching a bit with no luck.

My blood parrot has this small white growth on its rear end. It almost looks like a piece of poop coming out, but its white, kinda thick and not very long at all and been there for a few days.

any ideas?

well i just did a water change and looks like she might have laid eggs.
little white "balls" were coming up out of the gravel where she hangs out most of the time. Could this growth just be where she lays eggs from?

the eggs will turn white because they are not fertalized, suck them up with the gravel vac or leave them in for a yummy snack for your other fish
