Hey There,

I have a question; for the past 2 days i noticed my plecos poop is solid and then its thin whitish then back to solid color.


Can anyone tell me what the issue may be? Im hoping its nothing serious but im not for sure. I will post the best pic i can get.

Thanks in Advance,

SABrINA

Is this a new fish or one that you have had for more than a couple months?

What are you feeding and how often?

It's possible it is normal depending on how often the fish is eating.

Agree with Dee.
 
Seen with slow exit or constipation. Also with prepared foods. Is it a wild pleco? What are it’s tankamtes? Otherwise acting normal and eating?

Hey There,

Han Solo is tanked with a Cuban Cichlid and a Green Terror atm. Yes eating good!! [ wafers, Cucumbers, Peas, and sometimes pellets] Water melon is a once in a while treat, but no problems eating. weve had Han Solo for about 3 months. At one point i thought he sucked up a piece of m hair. My husband has been known to find a strand in a tank or 2 once in awhile. [ and i dont deliberately leave my hair in there it happens ] Thanks everyone for ur replies!!
