Alright so I have a question

[sidekicking]

Does anyone know why fish poop white???
I have never had any of my fish poop this color, I've been reading online and most of the information I read said that white poop means parasites or worms

So has anyone ever encounter this problem or know how to fix it
oh none of my fish are bloated at the moment and my water parameters are good

If anyone knows anything please let me know

thanks

Yeah more than likely a parasite. Look for prazipro. That will probably help you

Parasites.

 

[sidekicking]

So whats prazipro is it a medication??

 

[Ashley]

Yes, some pet stores have it. You might have to get it online though.

Lol, we've got it side!

That's what I said might work but since it didn't specifically state internal parasites on the bottle figured you should check online first.

Sorry Sidekicking that your fish have the AIDS. My fish poop every color but white!

Sounds like internal parasites to me. I would try medicated food and garlic. Garlic contains allicin which acts like a mild antiseptic chemical.

told ya to open a thread on it... look at all this good info..... well, since it sounds like a parasite.... im gonna point out the obvious... salt! lotsa aquarium salt, and raise temp..... also I would try epsom salt too..... use it in all my tanks.... it hardens up water too, so your cichlids will like it.

 

[sidekicking]

Yeah but I think salt only works with external parasites
but I found the meds I needed I will be picking them up later on today

Epsom salt cleans out there digestive track.... kinda like flushes the system... always good to put some in a african tank anyway to keep water very hard.... its like a buck at any grocery store.
