So my aunt gave me some of her guppies because she had too many and turns out she also gave me a pregnant one. So I put the pregnant fish in a breeding container. The gravid spot is supposed to be black but hers is pale red. She is pooping a lot too but for some reason it takes her forever to do so. There is a long piece of pop stuck in her butt and it's stringy? I'll take a picture of her..she is huge..I don't know when she'll give birth and I don't even know what to do when she does..help?

Also, she hasn't been eating that much since I put her in the container..idk if she ate much before she was put in the container.. but she is swimming well

Well she's definitely pregnant! A few of my guppies just gave birth, the grey ones have a black spot but if they are pale or slightly colours they can be red/orange/pink etc. IF you have just moved her she could be stressed and aborted her babies, i would say just give it a few days, if she starts freaking out in the box, personally i would take her out to try and keep her from getting more stressed

Thank you so much! One more thing to ask by the way..I dont know if this is stress but she has been having a clear stringy poop coming out and sometimes is swimming vertically..is she dying? I dont know if I should still take her out or not..
Also, I did just move her a few days ago..maybe she is stressed :(
