treating all the fish with waterlife protozin for whitespot never worked so now the temp has been raised to 30...a few white spots remain but its getting better daily...but now one of the pregnant guppy is pooping thin white poop......why?
 
tank is fully cycled, inmates listed below, ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 20-30ppm....
 
i feed 2 sinking little pellets and a tiny pinch of food every other day...am i not feeding enough, the 2 guppy seem to eat alot of algae(brown) from glass, silicon, and tank deco.....ive read the white poop could be because she is not getting flake food, only algae/vegetation???
 
i used to have live plants but the high temp was turning them brown so i removed them...
 
White poo is most likely fine, It's clear poo you want to watch for internal parasites.
 
its deffo more of a yellow, off white colour, ive read it could be consipation, so ive given them a defrosted broken up pea...this the right thing to do?
 
Hello
I've had exact same problem in my tank! The white thin poop if it's stringy it's a sign of parasites if it's solid it could be to do with mealworm or tubifex I assume as that's what I fed mine,
Frozen peas are for swim bladder and constipation , you get a tub add 15 peas with water 1min in microwave drain the water and pop the inside of the pea out and mush it together with normal flake food,
For internal parasites I've heard garlic is really good
Get some tank water about 1inch in a cup and drop some meal worm in with a clove of garlic leave to soak for 5 minutes and mix all together take the garlic out and tip the mixture into the tank
Goodluck
 
Fed them defrosted deshelled peas...they pooped for england n now their waste is dark brown......must have been a blockage lol...tank bottom covered in poo lol
 
hey guys, again, well the clear poo is back and peas are not helping this time, im thinking its internal parasites, i fed them with garlic soaked food and used a full course of sterazin, still flicking/flashing and have clear poo.....just started a second round of sterazin( treats flukes etc and controls internal worms)..i dont think its going to work...what do i do now, ive researched and found nothing...only sterazin.....
 
My tanks are completely clear now, I used myxafin are you taking the carbon out of your filter when your treating at the same time I was treating I used garlic as well and that seemed to have helped
 
yes removed carbon and fed garlic soaked food...this is a never ending battle, i just dont get whats wrong with the poor things......


will try myxafin, once the starazin course id finished...
 
Is there more than one flashing?, because I had just one fish in my tank that was, it could be a bit of swim bladder take the fish out of water for about 4-5 seconds and if you hear a psst sound like a coke bottle been opened it would just be to much oxygen in the tank and they should start swimming fine, personally If it was parasites they would have died by now I know there hard to get rid of though
My platy flashes I took him out he fizzed and was fine, but! He still sometimes does it in front of the ladies and then when they go over to him his 100% better ;-) I know his game lol

EDIT: I got it wrong it's not myxafin it's myxazin
That would be autocorrect :p
