Help! Something Weird Coming Out Of My Platy!

[andimariep]

Help! My platy is still somewhat active but looks like she has something bloody coming out of her anus - it actually doesn't look like worms at all, rather, two pink bloody bubble-like things that have since somehow gone back into her body. She is also bloated.

I have a 10 gallon tank with a Fluval 105 filter and live plants. I usually do a 25% water change every week and add Aqua Plus and Cycle each time.

The other animals I originally had in the tank were: another platy, 4 neon tetras, and a dwarf lemon gourami. I also had 5 large snails and one of those sucker fish that look like dinosaurs.

We've had a "wild" snail infestation as well that I've fought off many times but can't seem to get rid of. (Any additional advice on fish that may kill these horrible things would be great).

Last week I went to the pet shop because I thought I'd get a couple more neon tetras since they weren't schooling very much, and the pet shop guy told me I could increase this amount and get 6 rasboras and 2 more tetras. I added these fish but waited on the water change, as I was worried about their transition.

Please help! It sounds corny, but our family loves this fish as it was born in our tank and we've watched her grow. Her brother (boyfriend - eek) also is completely bummed out acting and has now gone into hiding.

Thanks in advance!

The pink thing coming out of the anus does it look like the intestines.
How does her anus look does it look enlarged or red and inflamed.
Does she look in pain.
What does it look like when your fish goes to the toilet.
Are her scales sticking out.
Lost any fish that have bloated up or gone thin in the past.
Any fish have sunken in bellys.
