My female guppy is almost ready to have her 4th batch of fry, and last night I noticed a a cut on the side of her belly, I have no clue what it is from there is nothing sharp in the tank and it is a basically a guppy tank, it has two kulhi (?sp) loaches and small pleco and a few shrimp. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? and is there anything I should do for her? I am putting up a picture of it but it is very blurry, :confused:

Make sure the males aren't messing with her. I had the same happen with a molly and it turns out the males were too rough. I was told that they will do that because the female is basically a food provider and they get zealous. I'd isolate her and see what happens.

I have her in my breeding cube in the tank right know, but i only have one male in there to like 10 girls.

I'd keep her isolated and put a dab Stress Coat in her iso area. I don't think there's much more you can do at this point. Hopefully she will be ok.
