there are a few questions that need answers before we can even guess what the problem might be.
is your tank cycled and how did you cycle it?
what are your water stats?
how big is your tank and what tank mates are there?
when was your last water change?

 

[Weew]

Yes its a mature tank.

Stats are all absolutly fine, tested yesterday with the API liquid test kit.

The tank is 125ltr and i have;

9 neon tetras,
2 mollies,
2 platties,
1 angel fish,
1 betta,
2 guppies (inc pictured)
& 1 apple snail.

Last water change was the day before she started doing that, and the day after she first started. So...2..days ago?

looks abit bloated too.. try fasting her for a day or so, then try her with peas.....could be a bit bunged up with poo, there is a huge fish poo on one of your pics...was it hers do you know?

 

[Weew]

Im not sure if it was hers or not tbh, they do seem to all be doing...erm..sizeable poos at the moment.

I didnt think much of it, could i be feeding them too much?

 

[MrsM]

could be, i thnk maybe a days fast is in order

its common practice to have a starve day now and again anyway, it will do no harm...maybe try peas(look t up on how to feed fish peas)after a fasting day to help "clear out" the fish too
