I noticed my possibly pregnant guppy has what looks like a hair sticking out of her mouth. Anyone think theres any concerns or should she be okay?IMG_2950.jpg
 
My guppies and Platy's get the occasional hair. They normally pass it it just fine. I never pull it out. You don't know how long the hair is and how far it is in your fish. I have lightly pulled and if it comes it comes. If not I break the hair so it's not sticking out of their mouths. Idk how my girlfriends long *** hairs sometimes get into my tanks but they do. None of my fish have ever gotten sick or died from this.
 
And your guppy looks like it has worms as well. Normally the chest of guppies should be so large. Yes I understand it's full of fry. I would suggest mixing API general cure in their food with some garlic or you can go all out with seachem products. Deworming guppies is a must.
