My female guppy is pooping funny

[NinjaSmurf]

My biggest female guppy, who looks about ready to pop, is pooping these little bits out, not like tiny bits of regular poop, but just tiny bits of stuff that almost looks like mocus or something. Should I have my handy dandy net ready for babies and another possible electrocution or just tell myself that I'm a freak for watching my fish to see how it poops?

Feed her some peeled peas. Go for her and will help the poo problem.

My platies poop red mucus stuff just before they give birth....

I don't know if it's because she finely pooped for real or if she dropped some fry, but she doesn't look as big as before. I hope she just pooped, if I missed getting fry again.......

has the tank or fish been through a traumer resently, it could have been she got upset and adorted, and what you saw was eggs/aborted fry.


I do hope thats not the case just a thought.

I can't think of anything, The only trauma she's had was just a few minutes ago when I had a failed attempt trying to put my betta in with them (I figured since they don't really have flowing tails of anything they'd be safe, but to prove I was an idiot the betta was happily chewing on a what I think was a bit of guppy when I netted him up again) but this pooping thing started last night. I'd put her in a breeder net but I only have one, and now that has two small fry she'd just love to eat. Ugh, I'll just have to watch her really close and see what I can do....
