Heavily pregnant guppy developed lump

Chloemilner · Sep 28, 2021

Hi there,
I have a heavily pregnant guppy and I have just noticed a lump under her belly / anal area. Has anyone experienced this? Poor thing is huge so much had a few babies in there… I haven’t seen this before with our others who have had babies.

Do you think it could be from her having do many babies in her?

The fish probably has a growth inside her.
The pink bump is either an egg or her ovipositor sticking out a bit due to the mass inside her. No cure for this.

If the fish stops eating and does stringy white poop, or has trouble swimming or breathing, then euthanise it.
