Fish waste

[DreD]

I was just wondering if the color and shape of the fish waste is significant to the fish's health. I have three mollies (black, silver, and dalmation), a red wag platy, and a red tailed shark. The color of their waste changes from time to time so I was wondering if that means anything, and anything else that their waste can tell me.

Is the food you feed them multi colored?

 

[DreD]

Yes I feed them the tetra min, I also try feeding the mollies romain lettuce, and I also occasionally feed them brine shrimp (dryfreezed).

IMO that would explain the color changes but as for what other things you can learn form the waste you got me.

 

[DreD]

Alright just making sure. I think I read somewhere on the forum that stringy white waste is a sign in bloat? One of my mollies exhibited that so I got a bit scared.

Oh, well it could be. I was just saying I personally have no clue what you can learn from fish waste.

Alright, thanks!
