my wcmm stomach has swollen up and now theres a hole in the side of it and theres somethink brown hanging out of its stomach wat could it be and what should i do

 

[WILDER]

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Is it possible to load a pic up of the fish with the hole.
Does it look like an organ coming out of the hole.

 

[kizno1]

camras rubish cant get a pic
54l tank
mollys guppies and platys
ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph are fin coz i gt the lfs to test them coz ive run out and need to get some more
and it looks like it could be its intestins or somethink like that

I would put the fish out of its misery.
The fish could of been attacked my another fish, ripped his tummy open on something in the tank. or the organ ruptured and pushed through the tummy region.
Any fish have long stringy white poo or clear mucas poo.

Sorry the tummy was also swollen. It sounds then like the organ have ruptured and push through.
Get a jug of very cold water and add ice cubes till the water freezing cold, place the fish in the freezing cold water.
It shouldn't take the fish long to pass on. Check the gills are not moving and leave the fish a while in the water to make sure its passed on.
If no ice cubes put the jug in the freezer till a thin sheet of ice forms on top.

[WILDER]

I would keep any eye on your fish and preform some water change over the next few days.

With it being a bacterial infection you need to start diluting the bacteria down in your tank with water changes. Or other fish could get ill.
