Bloodworms & jelly like poo

[mojie]

Does regular feedings of frozen blood worms generally lead to jelly like feces? Is this bad?

Jelly poo can be bad. Can suugest internal parasites. Any pics?

Bloodworms can cause clear tube poop

I have used blood worms as well as brine shrimp to help eliminate clear/white feces. you can see bw casings some times but will usually show like a sort of segment type feces.
clear jelly feces can be a sign of parasites

I'll have a better look and try to get some pics. They get frozen blood worms and spectrum discus pellets. Water quality is good - 1/3 every other day. No ammonia, nitrites or nitrates

What brand of bloodworms? Al Johnson, Rocky Mt. Discus (when he was still in the Rockies), told me that he had three three biologists on staff and they regularly tested Hikari brand and never found a single pathogen or their eggs. Other brands are not as safe. I remember buying a case of cheap BW's at one of those huge discount warehouse facilities in Pennsylvania only to find that at least five different type "worm", including tubifex. I threw them out. Some deal. LOL

That's reassuring - I feed mine Hikari brand bloodworms. Managed to get a picture which I've hopefully attached properly. I went to a couple of LFS yesterday for some advice. I've thrown in some terminalia leaves and epsom salts. I'm hoping they're just constipated.
