white poo?

[penguinpimp1990]

I was doing a water change on my 55 gallon tank today and I noticed the poo had some white color on it....Is it from over feedong or becuase of a parasite?

White stringy poo can mean an internal parasite, try a shelled pea if still having long stringy white poo, you will have to medicate with an internal parasite med.

whats a shelled pea?

If you have frozen peas in the fridge, take some out and defrost them. Remove the first shell then pop out the squishy stuff inside. i chop the squishy stuff up really finely so my fish can swallow it better.

will the pea cure the parasite?

 

[Skylar]

No, the pea will just help to clear some of it out. You'll have to buy a internal parasite medication from your LFS.

The pea is like all-bran... it gets things moving!

do raw peas work?

 

[WILDER]

Try a shelled pea first tio make sure the fish isn't constipated, then if it is still doing long stringy white poo I would medicate.
