Looks like this. I think it is the female. I have seen it spew out like little military airborne parachutes coming out of her with pretty good force, in specks, not a white string. Happy, healthy, eating, no stress tank. Side thought, I have to clean my filters tonight also.

Fish may be egg bound. To assure its not intestinal, feed brine shrimp which acts as a laxative.
Helpful will be a video under white light- No blue please
 
Thank you, I will do. It happens so suddenly by chance I was able to see it. I will see what I can do. Come to think about it, there was a time when this started they looked as though they were working on a pad location.
 
I should rephrase that, have been battling dinos, but I think that is clearing up now. Things seem settled down, doubled UV. I mean to say no critter drama they all get along.
 
update, after a few days of brine, I saw the male push out the mucus bits. Other than that, they are both blissfully acting fine. Its probably just a thing, needed a little roughage in the diet.
