Congicus Pooping Habits

[HumanBean]

Sorry for not soo good title but it's true. I recently acquired a pair of Congicus and it seems that they poop a lot. I am not new to Bichir keeping and have kept few over the years but Congicus is the first time. I noticed that upper jaw types doesn't create that much of a poop. Endlicheri and Congicus are two main ones making water dirty. Interestingly enough I am not feeding them as of yet but still it's insane. I will be doing a big water change and see how it goes. Also I noticed that pellets cause lot of poop but if you are feeding seafood the you won't see too much crap. Just wanted to share this unimportant observation.

Lol you should try having an Oscar then. Pretty much the same as if your were keeping a cat or small dog in a fish tank with the size of their poop. Lol it's crazy seeing a 5in Oscar have a poop as big around and as long as your thumb is. I always figured that taking a dump that big at such a small size would hurt like a mother F***** but it always seemed so effortless to them. The only thing that ever made it funnier was when they ate a whole pound of duckweed in a week so for the next week they just had radioactive green poop even with how brown and red their pellets usually made it look.
