Pregnant guppy white poo!worried

[Jennifer13]

Hi everyone,

So just got 6 guppies from a good local marine/fish specialist. 2 male and 4 female. I've only had them about a week but pretty sure 2 of the females are pregnant. Dark gravel spot and getting fatter each day! compared to the other 2 they are much fatter and darker. The 2 I think are pregnant are also pooping out white feces. I'm hoping this is not a parasite as the others don't have it and something to do with the fact they are pregnant. I've done a 50%water change and will do full change tomorrow. I'm getting a bit worried about them though, maybe over apprehensive as new to guppies?? would really appreciate advice and tips! thanks

If it is long and stringy as well it could indicate an internal infection worth treating. I've never had to treat this though so someone else would be better placed to advise on treatment plans.
Good luck with the babies!

Hmmm it's not particularly long but it is a bit stringy. Thought could also be stress of a new tank and might settle down in a few days. My partner thinks I'm mad amount of worrying I'm doing haha! just want them to be healthy
