i've noticed that on mine too but i left 4 feeders last night and this morning they were all gone.. i dont know if the aro ate them or did my bagarius ate it..

ive never seen yellow poop before.. you may wanna start worrying if you see his poop turn white, its nearly always the sign of an internal parasite.

WTF?!?! White poo!!

yeah yellow, i understand white poo is bad business but yellow threw me also. any recommendations for medicated foods? please?!

Don't react too quickly upon seeing white poo. It doesn't necessarily mean the fish has internal parasites as it could be mucous membrane of its intestines. If the fish refuses to eat, then consider treating it with levamisole hydrochloride.

has been on a hunger strike for almost 2 weeks now, did put down a couple worms the other day but not much, he's a beast usually....

Ahhh..I failed to read that bit on your first post. Oops..Then chances are the fish is riddled with internal parasites. Ask your vet for levamisole hydrochloride. Metronidazole and praziquantel combo can work but not as effectively as the levamisole HCl.
