whats wrong with my platy?

[bouff]

hello, i have no idea what is wrong with my platy. it seems to be acting pretty normal, but it has a big white almost bubble like thing coming out by the anal fin. at first i thought maybe it was having babies, but it has been days and it hasn't gone away. i don't know how else to explain what it looks like, but does anyone have any ideas of what it is and how to fix it. thanks

Does she look bloated, any sign of red patching on her, what does her anus look like is it red and inflamed, if it's a female could be aborted fry.

 

[bouff]

no, i don't notice any red patches anywhere. i can't see the anus, the white thing is completly covering it. oh, and yes it is a female.

 

[WILDER]

If it covering the anus as well could be internal parasites, other fish any sign of long stringy white poo, red inflamed anus, anything prutruding from the anus.

every one else seems fine. the fish i am talking about does have whitish poop though. what works best to treat internal parasites? should I put the fish in a tank alone? thanks for the help

You could quarintine, but you'll have to treat the whole tank for internal parasites anyway if thats what it is. Any chances that you could get a picture, or find a picture on the web looking similar? That would really help us out, keep an eye out for anything...
