Flakes, tubfux worms, peas, blood worms Any unusual findings on the fish such as "grains of salt", none bloody streaks, frayed fins or fungus? no Any unusual behavior like staying at the bottom, not eating, ect..? no I've just noticed today that my moor's pooh is a redy brown colour, it's the first time i've noticed this colour, normally his pooh is ok, some times it's a little pale or a bit stringy but he's eating ok and swimming fine. I was wondering if his pooh is this colour because yesterday i fed my fish blood worm? But I?ve never really taken notice of my fish pooh before but I?m sure it?s never been this colour. Please put my mind at rest and tell me it?s just because he ate too many blood worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member gumbo Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 I really think its ok. It is most likely because of the bloodworms and if you feed any pinkish goldfish flakes it can be because of that too. Brownish red is just fine. Mine frequently poops that color:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member littleone78 Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 The pooh should be the same color as the food you give him. I've never given bloodworms, so I am not sure what color they are. But, if they are reddish-brown, then its possible that is all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JustJayde Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 better to feel foolish and have a healthy fish than to ignore it and feel even worse for not having asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
