Aquarium Advice Activist
Hello there aquarists,
I was reading around and came across a thread about goldfish having internal parasites based on their poo. My goldfish have been having the same type of poop lately and I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions or help or advice. It looks clear and stringy and in between normal poops. Almost like they swallowed some air while eating and that's what's coming out. Does this sound like a parasite or some sort of sickness? If so what food or medicine should I use? I have noticed this for a little while but just thought that it was air they swallowed from swimming through their bubble wall or coming up to the top of the tank. I will be moving this week and finally getting them into a bigger tank! They are in a 15 gallon now and going into a 40 this weekend. I have two fantails and one telescope eye. I do water changes every week and have two aqua clear 50s running. My water always seems fine when I get it tested. Please any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!
