Strange Behavior...

Noticed my female pregnant mollie rubbing on the leaves of the plants and the heater. Pretty hard it looked. I noticed it once yesterday and just now again right now. Advice ?

Does she have any white spots on her?
Do a 75% water change

 

[Kamdavid]

No white spots on her or any other fish at all.

Do a 75 water change right now ?

 

[JuiceBox52]

Yeah

 

[JuiceBox52]

If you turn the light off and shine a flashlight on her does it look like there is a god sheen on her?

 

[Kamdavid]

This is coming out of her bottom. Poop and white string ...

 

[JuiceBox52]

She could have worms or an internal infection @Colin_T knows the best way to treat that

 

[Kamdavid]

Ok gonna get working on the water change. Standing by.

 

[JuiceBox52]

It could also be she is ready to drop but it's good to do the water change just in case its anything else

 

[Kamdavid]

Yea the white thing wasn’t long and was gone right after that picture. Doing the water change now. I did notice the temp was 82. I turned it down a little now too

 

[Kamdavid]

Ok water change complete.

 

[Kamdavid]

She hasn’t rubbed on anything since the water change. And hasn’t had any white things since. Her poops look normal ..... will continue to watch.

 

[JuiceBox52]

I'm glad. She may have just been irritated from something in the water

It’s possible. The others didn’t do anything like it though. Weird.

Do 75% water changes everyday then add rock salt or swimming pool salt.
