Thread: are fish suppose to have a long brown string hang out of there butt?

Callie, please use google and read up on fish care, what you are seeing there is their "poo", and it's quite normal.

Lol, they are just "going to the bathroom". Completely normal.

thats when they do number 2, apparently it just takes a while for the stuff to fall off. mine's got it all the time...

lol

It's call fish poo.... it's their digested food...

NO OMG! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR FISH,TAKE IT BACK!!

no wait,it's just pooping,(sorry bout all the yelling)

Yes, this is normal esp after feeding them. My pleco gets this a lot and twines it around plants. Cant wait what his christmas tree will look like. But yea, the long, brown strings are just waste...

omg! That's their guts!!!!! It means they are expelling their guts in preparation for changing into mutant alien brain eating monsters!!!! RUUNNN!!!!!!!!
