Twood Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Hi team - does this guppy look like it has a parasite? A couple of fish have had this in the tank over the last several weeks. It looks like a pink ball coming out of the anus of the guppy. Could this be something else, over feeding or fungal? thanks for any advice. Hopefully the picture is clear enough. Thanks!

nabokovfan87 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Difficult to tell from the photo. I would treat the tank with Expel-P (roundworms). This breaks down in light, so you'd want to dose it after lights out, followed by blacking out the tank for 24 hours. Repeat treatment 3 times, with a week break between each treatment. Details are towards the end of this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 It looks like a prolapse, along with possible sunken belly. Epsom salt baths can help the prolapse reabsorb, but the above suggestion of Expel-P is a good one, and can treat sunken belly/wasting disease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
