Is it poop ?

I was cleaning my tank when I noticed in my 12" CK's hiding spot, was a pile of white things. At first I thought worms, upon closer inspection, NO I didn't eat any, I noticed they smooshed like powder 'tween my fingers. They were right under his spot.....poop or not ??

Sure sounds like poop but it does not sound normal for it to be white though.

internal parasites will turn your fish's poo white.

Ya know...I did treat for parasites last week. Two intense treatments with prazipro and parasite clear and large water changes. I am quite sure all the parasites have been dealt with. Maybe these poops are from that time. I hadn't done a vac clean yet.

Depends on what it looks like, but to me personally, it sounds like parasites... especially if the poo is stringy with bead looking things on it...

Do a really good cleaning with the gravel, get that white poop out of there especially if they have/had parasites. Keep an eye on their poop and if it's still white your going to have to treat again.

I cleaned the gravel. Now I am just waiting to see more white poop....or not. Keep fingers crossed...NO WHITE POOP !!!!!!!
