What the heck is hanging from my Guppy?

[TeaPea]

It looks like a pink worm! She's passed a couple of them this morning so far! I should add that i've had her for about a week and she is very pregnant. She's in a 5 gallon tank with another female and two other smaller males. These are my first guppies ever... Take a look at her. :confused:

it looks like just a big peice of crap... babies will look like an ectra tail when she has them...

thats what i was going to say but didnt want to be wrong and look stupid. But yeah it looks like poop. Guppies give birth to live young.

Ewww! Why the heck is she pooping so much today? How groce! .

Uh, btw I knew all about the live young and didn't think it was a baby! I thought maybe it was a worm or something!

[GEV83]

Maybe she's not pregnant maybe she pooping all her fat. LOL. I have no idea why she would poop so much. What did you feed them??? Or rather her???

i heard that when fish have stringy crap that it means they are constipated... if she is, you can feed her peas and that will help with her constipation.... am i right anyone else????

[Dangerdoll]

I think I heard somewhere about the pea theory, but from seeing her, I would think she's hardly constipated. Looks like healthy guppy-poo to me.

Thats crap alright.. My cherry barbs rival that size... But they sure do cycle well. Also since she is doing it very often lately its due to giving the fry the best nutrients possible by eating as much as possible. Same for any other organisim in giving birth, its just breaking down food down faster than usual....
