ok so im finding blue poops in the bottom of my tank lol what the heck is going on ?
fish seem very healthy eating and growing like crazy .
i have been feeding crickets that i feed carrots , hikari food sticks , minnows that i caught in the creek using dog food and bread.
so possibly minnows might have been gut loaded with dog food and bread although i only have fed directly from catching once or twice . most times i keep the minnows in a separate tank for a while first.
also have fed some rosy reds could it be meds in the rosies ? not from me but from were ever they are produced ? the only other thing i can think of is i put branches in the tank that did have some weird fungus but ive since cleaned all that up . any body ever had this before? not all the poop is blue but certainly a bit of it .
its a light blue color
 
Is there anything blue in the tank that maybe the fish are ingesting the paint? Like gravel or decor. Likely its from the diet but found from the fungus.
 
no paint or anything eles like that i can think of i might have seen a blues looking algae a while back i figured this might have been something to do with the branches but that was a little while ago only have bright green algae now. my first thought was maybe the rosies had been treated with malicite or mthyln blue or something and maybe coming out in the waste ? the waste of the fish that ate them i mean lol

Guess just watch for now. As long as it's being popped out and the fish are acting normal then it's ok.
 
This happened to a friend of mine once, he figured it was all the blue Hawaiian punch he'd been drinking. Sorry not much help to you but I couldn't resist.
