I have a mickey mouse fish and about 3 or 4 weeks ago i noticed my fish was bloated and i saw the babies and have been watching her closely and just yesturday i noticed she has black stool coming out of her and it looked like she was swollen in that areaso i put her in a breeding net and today it looks like red stool on the side and black stool sitting at the bottom of the net and shes still swollen so my question is how do i know when she is in labor

Answer
Sherry,

Get ready for babies. The red mean birth is about to happen. Good luck with the fry and have fun. Keep an eye on her cause it could also be the poop is hard and it is scraping on the inside of her. I am thinking it is labor though. If you do not see any fry in the next 24-48 hours, let me know.
