I would keep close observation of your Oscar. White coloured fish poo could be a sign of intestine parasites.

Please don't jump the gun yet. If this event doesn't happen again it might mean nothing serious and using unnecessary meds could harm your fish.

I keep all my fish in planted tanks.

From time to time I've seldom seen whitey coloured poo strings that I believe is related to specifics of their diet that particular day.

None of my fish are sick of parasites, as far as I know.

internal parasite ,increased flagelites in the blood ....its the same as hlle if after 2 days it is still happening and your fish has or does stop eating...treat IMMEDIATELY with jungles tank buddies internal parasite ......

Thanks that's what i thought but i dont ever feed them anything other than pelleted foods and I did do a internal parisite treatment when i first got them when they where small.

That's why i do not understand how they can get parisites?

Treating when they are young won't prevent for the rest of their life...



"clear" poo is just outer-lining of a fish's stomach... they only dispose of it when something is bugging them.. and that's usually caused by an internal parasite.

Hi I feed 3 times daily and feed different pellet foods at the 3 different times .... sometimes bio gold + then omega one then dianchi(don't know exactly the name) cichlid food .
Maybe i should only feed one pellet food as the staple diet and it will be better?

as i say treat IMMEDIATELY with jungles .........your exsisting feedings and diet is perfect....but at the moment your fish have increased flagelites in the blood/heximita....internal parasite
