    Default Don't see any poop.

    Now I know this thread is going to bring a lot of laughs , ect but I'm serious.
    I change the water everyday, 95 + or -%. All I see is a brown "dust", very light and floats
    real easy.
    I feed them 2X a day with pellets and 3x/ day with fdbw. They are approx 8+mts. old
    and healthy as hell. I have 5 in a 40 and they are appprox. 5 to 5 1/5 in. in size
    Any thoughts? Now no jokes that I have a new strain that doesn't poop, ect.

    The brown debris is the poop. If by MTS you meant Malaysian trumpet snails, then they are likely breaking down the poop.

    8+mts
    .. guessing thats where it came from.. months old

    Jay you are feeding food thats probably highly digestible and you must have good filtration so thats why you arent seeing much waste. Some foods like frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, beefheart mixes etc can have more associated wastes from the less digestable parts.
