-He is approx 4-4.5"
-Got him as a young fry, march 21 (he was maybe .5-.75")
-Tank is a 90g, fx6, kept at 79-80
-No tank mates
-Less than 10ppm nitrates, no ammo or nitrites
-Staple has been NLS 1mm pellet but he gets a varied diet
My concern is that when I do my weekly gravel vacs I see some white/clear-ish poops. majority of the poop is normal red/orange color all through the gravel but I do find the odd clear ones.
On Monday I saw him poop one of the clear-ish one and I put it under my microscope and saw no eggs or no living things in there. Just watch looked to be some of the freeze dried blood worms i had fed.
Do i need to just not worry about the odd poop that is not normal? this fish doesn't show any other signs of illness at all. no flashing, no body marks, no heavy breathing or hiding. he is super interactive and eats very well everyday. he constantly begs. colors are a bit dull but since he is young I don't think they have come in yet.
I am going to try feeding peas for a bit and see how that goes.
any advice or comments would be appreciated.
