Strange poop?

Post by Aloha919 »

My Opae have strange red 'tails' coming off their tails. I only noticed this morning. I have about 20 or so shrimp in this particular tank, and many have this weird thing in various lengths. Is it poop? It's red ?!? :shock:

That's poop for sure! I'm curious-do you feed them? Mine never poop that much! Mine poop tiny little pellets.

They eat the algae in the tank, however my 8 y/o stepdaughter found the spirulina vial, and fed some. They ate it all up pretty fast. They swarmed the top of the tank ( she loved it )...... too much food probably :?
Thanks for your response.
