Pregnant guppy pooping a lot?

Hey! I’m new here and was wondering if my guppy is pregnant and if not why is she pooping super long strands of poop recently. I’ve tried looking at other threads and I’m just lost on my own. I’ve been feeding her tetra fish flakes. Here are some picture below. Thank you

I’m not sure why it’s so long but, white feces means ur fish hasn’t eaten in a bit . It could be hours or a couple days . Why poop generally isn’t dangerous . But I’m not sure why it’s long. Unless the Feces is moving on it’s own it’s likely not a parasite.

Welcome to Fishlore.

She certainly looks very gravid.

I’ve been feeding her everyday but I’m worried of over feeding since she’s been pooping like this for the past week. Idk if it has something to do with the pregnancy or not.

Pooping white can also mean old age in guppies
But there’s a very small chance that she could have an internal worm/parasite. If so there’s nothin you can really do

Yay that’s great news. Do you know when she is going to drop? I’m worried for the frys’ safety because the other female gave birth unknowingly and provided the shrimps a feast.

The poops have been all sorts of colors. Sometimes it’s a really dark brown and thick whil others look normal but long strands.

I’ve had it for about a month. I don’t know the exact age tho but I was hoping she’s still young in size compared to her friends

Well, it’s hard to say . Is she acting normal? Example: breathing fast or loosing color. Or sluggish ness

Yup everythjng seems normal as normal as when I first got her. Except for the poop. She’s swimming happily, eats a lot, and doesn’t act like a pregnant guppy at all. That’s why I’m like so confused cuz this happened to my other fish as well minus the popping part where she was acting normal and dropped fry.
