Horrible smelling poop is usually an indicator of parasites. A fecal at the vet is definitely a smart idea. I'm sure if you managed to get some on a paper towel that would be sufficient, is it completely liquid?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
