This is the feces I made mention of with excess mucus in the stomach. Again add foods such as TDO pellets, LRS fish frenzy, formula 1 flakes, and plankton which will change consistency and color of feces

ah. i’m feeding them pellets and frozen brine shrimp. though they aren’t too excited about the pellets so will only eat one or so and let the rest fall to the floor. they really like the shrimp stuff though!

Add the other foods and you’ll see a change and also adds vitamins and aminos for the fish

ah okay, is there any specific vitamins and aminos you’d suggest?
These foods have some but if you want to supplement-
Selcon vitamins 2-3x a week
