All organisms are a little bit gross if you think too hard.Have never seen it in my tank - fishes will mouth the poop and spit it out. But it is quite common in the wild - Some of the big tangs in Hawaii are poop generating wonders, and their poop rarely makes it to the bottom. The technical term is coprophagy.
It is only natural. Fisk is not alone with this habit therefore nor disgusted or surprisedWell this is kinda gross today but a thread from yesterday "inspired" me to ask you this question today. So blame it on @G Santana if you want to blame someone! As gross as it may be it did make me wonder how many of your fish might be doing the same thing. So what are fish doing? They are eating poop. More specifically other fishes poop! If it were a snail eating poop it would be perfectly acceptable but seeing a fish eat it takes to another level, or does it? Anyway let's talk about it today!
1. Do any of your fish eat the other fish's poop?
2. How do you feel about it? Grossed out, doesn't bother you, what?
This almost made me spill my coffee lolfish dookie
Yes, but only the tangs, not other species.Well this is kinda gross today but a thread from yesterday "inspired" me to ask you this question today.
