Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi. I need some advice. My female guppy has an orangey red translucent bubble coming out of her anus.
This is the second time it has happened, both times after eating bloodworms. The first time it happened was just after she had dropped her fry. I asked on here for advice and we all came to the conclusion that it was a prolapse. This time however, she hasn't dropped any fry, she's just stuffed herself full of bloodworms.
Could it be that she's just eaten too much, and bits are exiting to make way for a stuffed stomach?
My main problem now is that when I spotted this happening I went to put her in a floating breeder box to stop my tetras nipping at it. Unfortunately, as I was putting the breeder in the water, one of the tetras did just that.
She is now bleeding from the wound, sat on the bottom of the breeder looking very sorry for herself. I have turned the lights off to minimise stress, and will be doing pwc's to keep the water a perfect as possible.
Is there anything else I can do to help her heal? Any meds I can buy? Or do you think that she won't make it?
Thanks for help!
