Intestines Coming Out?

[melloumaw]

Hi,
i have just noticed what appears to be,my 2 month female guppy fry passing her intestines..
She had a very dark gravid spot and the substance appears to have a black dot in it,now i dont know but could it have possible for her to be pregnant from 4 weeks old? Im sorry if this seems silly but i am very new to fish
any comments thankfully accepted

Yes guppy fry can get pregnant as early as 3 weeks if she is in with mature males.
but it doesn't sound like she is giving birth, as fry coming out don't generally look like intestines.
Can you get a good look?
Could be a parasite, could be a prolapse of her "insides" hard to tell though from your description.
My virgin females all have large dark black gravid spots and are not pregnant. All females have a gravid spot, pregnant or not some are just easier to see than others depending on her coloring and line.
Hope that helps and hope she's ok.
