looks like fish crap to me. what food are you feeding your fish?

 

[fishingaddict]

the fish are fed market shrimp and rosies. their crap are usually bigger and dark colored. these are very narrow red orangish strips.

Scoop some up, see if they come apart like fish crap does.

If they don't get a magnifying glass and see if they resemble parasites maybe?

My plecs will pass orange crap when fed color enhancing flakes, and white when fed shrimp. Maybe the two made for a lighter colored orange this time?

fish's poop changes colour depending on what you're feeding it. recently i've been feeding my channa's market shrimp and they've had orange poop

 

[fishingaddict]

but its also ten times smaller?

like u never had smaller turds?

i know what u mean though, my bichir was on guppies for awhile and he had big dark turds, now that hes on freeze dried baby shrimp his poop i lighter and almost like that, except not exactly. I don't think you should worry.
