Sandra the fish rookie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have some guppies and a super red pleco in QT. I had to delay starting meds due to tank chemisty. I am not feeding them. I usually do all 3 meds and do the second dose of Para cleanse and observe. The pleco poops a lot and I am not sure what its supposed to look like. I was going to give my tank 1 more day. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yes plecos are poop machines. What are you feeding them? Looks normal to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 same here. it looks very normal to me, if they eat a lot of algae their poop is going to be a dark to light green . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra the fish rookie Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 @KBOzzie59 & @Cys aquatics No I am not feeding him at all. All that is in there is anything growing on the filters, and there is some wood for him to much on. It just looked pale to me? but he is not eating anything that he could really digest I guess. I am paranoid having had SOOO many worms with guppies.. which is why I always de worm them.. and he is in there with the guppies.. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
