My female platy has what appears to be a long tube near her anal fin. Is she pregnant? or a disease?

Are you sure it's not a male platy with a gonopodium?




The only other things I can think of is a prolapsed intestine (which is something that must heal on its own) or some kind of parasitic worm.

It is definatly not a male because it has just appeared and now it has disappeared just as fast. The fish also seems reclusive now.
