Fish waste question.

[SimonWoodstock]

What does it mean when your fish leaves a "floater"?

 

[Watcher74]

I think that signifies that they're getting plenty of fiber in their diet.

At least that's the way it works with us.

 

[SimonWoodstock]

Well I just started feeding my pleco a lot more cucumbers. So that must be why.

If I could get my pleco to produce floaters, I'd never have to vaccum the tank.:laugh:

I can just imagine the advertising campaign for a newly developed fish food guaranteed to produce floating poop!

I'd buy it.

It can also mean that air is in their waste... this isn't necessarily a good thing.

Air or unmetabolized fats.
