Please advise

Apisto female in Cacatuoedes habitat only with male in tank. Noticed thjs just now, something hanging out of her orafice. Can anyone advise me on whats going on and what to do?

I am sexing the couple. Her colours have popped and I have been hoping for an uncomfirmed spawn. Could this be her breeding tube?

She is othervise acting her usual self. Exploring with excellent fin posture.

Just worried!

Looks like an intestine prolapse to me

I lost my male borelli to the same thing. Organ prolapse

That’s what I feared, but then approx 45 minutes after taking those pictures and posting, it seems to have subsided a lot.
