Black Waste Coming Out Of My Pregnant Platy

[erin3270]

I have 2 pregnant Platy, and 1 gave birth, not sure which one, but both are giving out a long black waste. I have never seen this before. What could this be from? She only had 3 babies.

I really wish I could answer your question!
Same thing happens to my sword after and before she gives birth, but I don't know why.
Otherwise though she is super healthy.

My platies poo out different colours,if they have been eating freeze dried bloodworm or brine shrimp their poo is very dark.
