[nu2fish]

there is a string of white stuff hanging out of our female platy. Are they eggs or fry or something else...WHAT ARE THEY?

Sounds like internal parasites. Get some meds.

 

[nu2fish]

but what do eggs look like??? We have 2 small fry already which are living in the bushes and seem ok. We think she may have given birth again but dont really know. If it is internal pararsites what sort of meds?? PLEAE HELP

platties are live bearers - the have little fish - not eggs.

If it is an internal parisite problem the stingy thing will be an empty poo. the parisites will be getting all the nutrients rather than the fish (like worms in humans).
