venzi Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Is it normal for poop to be end up in a spiral shape (similar to cinnamon roll). As the fish poops, the poops seems to curl around on itself to create the spiral like shape. I noticed this with a few of my female betta fish more recently.

nabokovfan87 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It's a common sign of internal worms. Try treatment with paracleanse first. You'll need 3 full treatments. Make sure you do a good siphon after each treatment during each W/C as indicated on the directions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find anything on spiral poop. Obviously, tons of info on stringy/white poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I have seen this with different foods I have fed in different fish. They lived long healthy lives so I doubt it was internal parasites. I believe @xXInkedPhoenixX has had some impressive curly-ques with her Otos she breeds herself. If the fish are acting normal and appear healthy with no symptoms I would not worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I see it from a few different species (spiral poops) when I feed krill pellets. First observed it with my gold ocellatus. Not flat like cinnamon roll, but spiral lime the tip of a very coarse screw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 As @Guppysnail states my healthy baby Otos poop in a spiral. It always makes me smile. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now I need you to train them to make other designs too. Maybe a heart next? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
