normal platy shape?

[water12]

I noticed about a month ago that my platy's stomach seemes to be stretching, but not like it would swell if it was pregnant. It does have white, stringy waste but other then its stomach shape ans the waste it acts completely normal. It's the only platy in the tank (15 high) for the past 2 months and is currently with 6 neons and 3 corys. Everyone else seems to be perfectly healthy, I just Wang to know I'd this is a possible internal parasite. Ph is 7.4, ammonia is .25, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 20. I do 2 weekly water changes. I would like any advice I'd this seems to be normal or not, please disregard my numbers of the current stock, om upgrading to a 45 gallon in a couple weeks.











I would possibly think it could be pregnant but its not even rounded when looking head on...so confused

Well, I wouldn't have any other explanation than it is pregnant. That is odd.

Could she be bloated? If so feeding peas can help.

That's what I was gunna say

I tried peas before when she seemed to have the "shimmies" and that helped so I guess she was constipated. That was a couple weeks ago. I could continue that again to see if that helps any. Should I only feed it to them once and fast them for a couple days?

Sorry for the grammar lol my phone thinks it knows best

Looks more like bloat. A gravid female wouldn't get that big.

Alrighty I didn't think so, 2 females I've had in the past didn't look like that when they had fry. So would the pea method be the best thing to combat this? If so, how long should I keep it up?
