Hey all,

My 2 year old datnoid (12 inches) has been recently having what looks like diarrhea. Poop is usually formed but comes out like powdery. I feed massivores so just looks like undigested massivores pellets. Any ideas on what to do and whether this should be cause for concern?

Best,
Ray

Possibly overfeeding? Cause the datnoid eats like a beast but the food is sh*t out like powder lol. Im gonna try tilapia today to test whether its the food. Hoping its not a problem internally. Thanks for the input.

Yes, I think this is a more natural diet for a dat.



A twelve inch dat can go without food for many days.

Try tilapia after a reasonable purge.
I’ll give it a few days and see if it gets better with tilapia. Thanks for the reply. Keep y’all posted :)
