Cinnebuns Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 20 Have done several cold water changes this week to trigger panda cory breeding including one today. One thing I've never gotten a good handle on is diagnosis of illness in general but especially the difference between a long poop from bloat vs internal parasites. I know something stupid high like 80% of guppies you get from a store will have internal parasites, so I deworm all that I get from stores but this female was from a breeder on ebay so I never did deworm her. She's has a long poop like this now 2 nights in a row. Today I exclusively fed blanched kale. I know sometimes veggies is the recommendation for "constipation." In quotes cause fish don't really get constipated the same as we do. What's your call on this one? Also, if I deworm, I probably l should do full tank as it's likely the worms were passed right?

Colu Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 White stringy poop can poop with no food in it it's just the mucus covering of the bowel your seeing I would feed some pellets or flake and see if the colour changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 I realized just now another reason a female guppy can have long poop. If she's close to giving birth. Yesterday my first panda cory fry hatched and this morning I woke up to guppy fry. No male humans are allowed in this apartment cause this place is too fertile for me to trust that!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
