Red Poo

[jmain]

I know I have heard someone discuss this before but I can't find it anywhere.


I was looking at my fish in my 10 gallon tank (2 males and 2 females salfin mollies)

1 female and 1 male both look to have redish poo is there something wrong with that?

Not unless they look like little red paintbrushes (red sticks with little tufts on the end) - if so they are worms.

Its probably whatever you have fed them ie: if you have been feeding them bloodworms, or it can even be from the flake foods if there is pink or red flakes.

Yep thats the color it looks is the redish color of flake food

Your fish should poo roughly the same color as the food that you are feeding them.

If it is clear poo, then that could be an indication of internal parasites.
