By 'between rear legs' do you mean on her cloaca?

Yes that would be the word i was looking for
Also i just noticed her trying to "scratch her self behide the gills with her foot?

i put her into another tank so i can keep an eye on her as she has not been her self today???

Are you positive that it isn't feces? She may have eaten something that she wasn't supposed to and is now trying to pass it. You don't have gravel or snails in there with her, do you?

Also, (after water parameters, temp, etc and so forth), she doesn't have white stringy things coming off her gills? Any other sores? How often does she do this behavior? She may be suffering from a form of fungus.
