All other fish seem normal but my tiniest orange Platy has a thin clear thing coming out of him. He is eating and swimming normally. It is coming out his Bumm, it doesn't move and is larger than a hair though, like the size of thick fishing line. I will keep an eye on him and try to take a pic later
 
That is the gonopodium, a very distictive male sex organ. Xiphophorus maculatus are easily sexed visually due to males junk being out...
