Regular Member jennybugs Posted September 20, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Our Roger is reknowned for his incredible ability to produce mega poops and today has been no exception. I wish I'd been able to clean the glass better but this photo says it all...even down to Curly's reaction I has gone now but I had to capture it for the record else you would never have believed me not a care in the world! I'm uploading a video clip. Gross? I know the others poo alot but not like Roger does. Is this something to be worried about/a problem I can address? They have a good varied diet of greens, live and frozen foods and Saki Hikari probiotic food but only Roger produces such sausages!

Regular Member jennybugs Posted September 20, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) It's only Curly that has this amazing ability. Maybe I should write to Guiness World Records Edited September 20, 2009 by jennybugs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Blue Posted September 20, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2009 poop like that indicates he is constipated. you will have to fast your fish then feed peas for 3 days before going back to normal diet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jennybugs Posted September 20, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) He's had some peas, but it befuddles me how poop like that indicates constipation! It doesn't stay there for ages or take ages to be produced either. I've just looked at this... Long thin poop: Same color as there food but its thin and long. This normally caused by stress and not eating well. Fish should be closely watched. White poop with air bubbles: There isnt any color to the poop and there is air trapped in the poop. This is signs of constipation, the food isnt being prossed in the fish. Fish should be not feed for three days and then feed nothing but peas for three days. Thin white poop: There isnt any color to the poop. This is a sign of a bacterial infection inside of the fish. Fish should be placed on Anitoboitics and feed nothing but anitibotic foods. Long clear (zig zag) with air bubbles: There isnt any color to the poop but it is long and with air bubbles in the poop. This is normally the fish reabsorbing eggs. Long and thick poop: The poop is long but the same color as the food you feed them but it trails the fish. This fish is feed to much and is alittle consitapated. Fish shouldnt be feed for three days. Short to medium poop: Good healthy poop should be the same color as what you have feed them. The poop should be short to medium length and not be trailing the fish for long lengths of time. and know the poop to be long, but I wouldn't class it as thick. He's fed every other day so wouldn't say he's overfed either. I have fed him peas as said, but it says for long thick poop to starve him for 3 days? Now I'm all confused.
