View Full Version : Holy crap! (what came out of my discus)

I did the first treatment of Prazi last week. One of my discus who's the bottom of the pecking order was still eating but hanging back for the past week (apetite still good though). Well this morning I saw him passing a GIANT poop! That poop must have been 8-10 mm around and this is a 4.5" fish! Like if we tried to pass the Sunday newspaper! I called my son over and that was the first words out of his mouth too (holy crap!) I didn't see any worms expelled though. perhaps it is a good thing that the LFS had live brine shrimp that I've given them for a few meals. So I guess I'm in the same boat as that previous post about treating with prazi makes fish expell some pretty amazing stuff (keep the epsom salts handy!) :p

No, he/she was a snakeskin. I just kept shaking my head in wonder and was glad it wasn't me. :o

My BlueDiamond craps once a week, I think. The poop is so big, it's as big as my little pinkie. I'm always amaze how something that big passes through.:p

Yep, it's true.

Every now and then some of my fish like to pass a loaf or two...or three... that's equivalent in size to a small Gamma Bomb! http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/crazy/349.gif

These fish are often the ones who are most eager to devour the next morsels of food coming their way as well! http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/849.gif
