VanDogh Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) So my guppys finns were clamped so I made a 50% waterchange (no2 level were orangish yellow) so ammonia, no2 and no3 should be good now. pH maybe around 8 Hardness very hard water KH/Buffer is also pretty high Water Temperature is 26 celcius either way, his finns were clamped so I got worried and made a water change. Now I notice this string of poop that legit won't go away and he has been having for more than 1h is he just constipated and this will pass? I gave him some smooshed peas but I don't know if his finns are clamped due to constipation or if I should quarantine him and treat him for something??

VanDogh Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 Also sorry for blurry pictures fishes won't stay still for a millisecond alright. Atleast he is very active and eating so that should count for something? 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 White stingy poop can be just poop with no food in it could be caused by constipation what I would do is fast for a couple of days and keep an eye on your water parameters then give an update if your seeing no improvement or it gets worse @VanDogh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do 1 table spoon for 5 gallons that level of salt safe for your Cory's and most plants will tolerate that level of salt fine you could quarantine this fish and treat on its own with a higher level of salt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put 4 tablespoon in the tank. I've had some esha optima also yesterday and today, he got peas yesterday but finns are still clamped. Though the poop is no longer stuck. Hopefully the salt will help and if it doesn't I'll move him and give him a stronger concentration of salt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
