Is our Platy giving birth? What is happening??

[Carnathan]

We have a VERY pregnant platy. We are new to this. Our pregnant platy has been passing a few strings with these big white balls attached. Does this mean she’s in labor?? Should we use a birthing box or no?

@emeraldking? White poo like that usually means they have an internal parasite or worms. Someone with more livebearer experience will comment soon.

You already pointed it out when it comes to white stringy poo...
Being pregnant itself doesn't cause white poo.
