Maxy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 If the poo is long and stringy it may be the fish are eating your plants. Some of mine ate long thin grasslike plant (no idea what is was called) and they suffered from this. Can also cause choking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dally13 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Thanks for that but the only plants they have in there are the java moss and the java fern. i don't think that would make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dally13 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 never heard of fish getting worms but are you sure that a cat or dog worming tablet will be ok. I dont want to end up with dead fish aye. thanks. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Have used with my Discus, as do others. Worms are a common problem with fish, esp new fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
