After starting to feed my fish Krill i have noticed they are pooping white! Is this a parasite or just from the Krill. They are all acting normal.

May just be due to the change in diet. White stringy poop can also be a sign of internal parasites, but unless the fish are new, I wouldn’t worry. One thing- is this frozen krill? Sometimes frozen seafood in LFS is rancid because it has been thawed and refrozen during shipping.

Yes this is frozen krill. Going to go back to feeding mysis and brine. They were having trouble eating the krill due to it’s size anyway! Thanks for the help!
