Overly-active Bowels

[Garofoli]

Hello,
I have somewhat of a problem. My fish are moving their bowels excessively. I may be feeding them a lot but not this much. There is always fecal matter EVERYWHERE and It's big too. My stocking list is...

2 Rams
8 Harlies
3 Gouramis
1 Bristlenose Pleco

Who's causing this? Thanks.

I have the same problem if I eat too many chicken wings...

But seriously what are you feeding with? A high quality flake food would be too low in ash to create a high volume of mega turds!

5bucks for the pleco!

Do you have driftwood in the tank? If so, the pleco is the culprit.

I do not know how, but, plecos poop more than they eat!

A bunch of tiny corks might help the problem

Yes, I have driftwood. I am pretty sure it is the pleco. I am feeding Tetracolor. I don't even think there is enough food for him to poop that much.

is the poo LONG, i mean like 3"+, if so, pleco.

Yeah, It is. I just don't understand how much there is. lol Is there any way to minimize this?
