Hey There,

Yes thats a very bad sign for that to happen. I think you should give the fish to me.

lol

Nah, only joking. Fish will do a very long poop like that if they have too much fibre in their diet. Dont worry - its only bad if the fish cant expel the poop.

lol its not spagetti but it may be a new recipe for the italians, just joking.
that fish i havent had too long and u see one baby in the pic, it has a small batch of babies, i only feed it the colour bits for at the moment since i first got it about a month ago. the pooh is normal colour that the fish eats colour bits, but it just goes very long, that photo was taken 2 days ago but today of corse anothe long pooh again, oh well at least its not as messy like other discus pooh every where, just makes a spagetti poo dayly lol,,,, ben

This is the problem, it would be like eating only cornflakes for a month!

Try and get the discus to eat a nice balanced diet including frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, blood worms and a beef heart mix.

This will get the discus nice and regular again! :wink:

ech only one food source???


poor bugger would be all blocked up


try some frozen blood worm and some live / frozen brime shrimp

[piranha-discus]

the poor bugger not blocked up she just shoots it out as a spagetti shape, at least she not that messy , its easier to clean up lol.

[nicholas76]

I'll rephrase that

blocked up with shi****

LOL Ben, it's just a variation on normal, but it probably does mean that the fish is getting too much dry food, and needs something else in the diet as well. Try adding some beefheart, frozen bloodworms or Brine shrimp to the diet. That should make the fish a little more ...errrr....... regular.
