xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Stringy AND white is usually not a great thing in any fish for an example. (stringy and brown not a bad thing most of the time) Edited October 9, 2021 by xXInkedPhoenixX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think it would really depend on diet. Blood in human stool makes it black but we also feed them bloodworms which simulate the same colors. I'm sure if one fed blackworms it may get similar results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hi EveryOne I'm just new to the forum and also new at the fish keeping world. I've been full-time gathering information for about a month or 2, while cycling my 10gallon for a betta and maybe a small school of endlers. I have my betta (and an assasin snail) now for a few days and this morning I found some strange cinnamon role looking poop (I suppose) in the tank. I can not find a lot of information (especially pics or videos) showing what poop is supposed to look like 😁. I think this is the result of overfeeding my betta? at 8am he gets e very small pinch of Tetra Betta flakes and at 8pm I give him about 10 to 15 Hikari Batta bio-gold pellets, which he devours in less than a minute 🤭. He wasn't bloated yesterday, so if you think this could be something else, let me know. My betta and his poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hi @Nel, welcome to the forum. Beautiful Betta. I think you might be overfeeding a bit. Remember their stomach is about as big as their eyeball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Thank you @xXInkedPhoenixX, I have seen so many in the different lfs over the past months and was never sure which one I would choose, but as soon as I saw this one, I knew and even took it home a bit to soon 😏 I thought so much. I just wanted to be sure it is poo as it was layed down like a small art work 😅. He didn't get any food tonight, let him flare for about 15min and then lights out. No more food until tomorrow evening. Thanks for the feedback! Edited December 13, 2021 by Nel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 @Nel it's worth considering building 1 fasting day into your week, especially if you feel you might have a tendency to overfeed 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
