I have searched, but I'm still clueless. One of my discus has odd (to me) looking feces. It sounds weird, but it is "fluffy" looking. It is not really white, but rather pinkish. Is this a sign of a problem? It is eating well & even started greeting me at the top for food. This is a juvy. I added it last weekend.

It ought to be black. If you are feeding only Tetra Color Bits, then red.

What kind of frozen food?The reason i ask is if your feeding alot of bloodworms the undigested casings can give feces a weird look

I am just wondering if it could be the sign of a problem...its swimming fine, no clamped fins or rapid breathing so far. I have two ( have two more coming Tuesday morning) & it's definitely the more boistrous of the two. Eats like a pig!

It's dark now, hopefully it was something it ate.
