WHY iSN'T MY FISH POOING?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Question

Okay, I put my question in capitals because it would attract more attention. smart? DUH-UH! =) Anyways, my goldfish isn't poo-ing, the last time this happened which was a few days ago, i changed the water, and i think because it was cold, he pooped - ALOT so is there another way to get the fish to poop, or why it ain't pooping. BTW. he always swims @ the top when he's not poooping. =)

Answer 1

feed him the inside of a thawed frozen pea.

soak a frozen pea in hot water for about an hour. after it's been soaking for a while peel off the skin. give th insides to your goldfish. this helps clear up constipation. don't feed him the whole day that you give him the pea. you can give him one pea a week as a treat from him plus is helps make sure he doesn't get constipated.

hope that helps!

Answer 2

Make sure you are feeding it enough and the fish likes the food it is eating. Also it may have some sort of parasite where all excess food is being consumed by the parasite. If you are pretty sure the fish is healthy and eating enough, look at the bottom of the tank for the poop. It may sink as soon as the fish finishes and you may not see it very often. If the fish is constipated Im not really sure what can be done for that but hope it gets better.

Answer 3

First, how do you know he's not pooping? You should not really see your fish pooping much, you shouldn't see trails of poop or anything. Do you mean that your fish floats on the top when he's not moving or just swims up there. If he's just swimming around the surface its normal.

If your fish is constipated feed him peas, split the shells.

Answer 4

first aspect is, there should be in effortless words one fish in a 2.5 gallon tank. And a betta is the in effortless words type of fish that should be in a tank that length. If that is in simple terms swim bladder, enable him go without foodstuff for 3 days or so. If he remains ingesting then he received't be very sick. you want to enable his digestive device sparkling. He should be pooping, you in effortless words ought to not be able to inform on account that its difficult to work out bettas pooping because of their fins. Fish can go per week without foodstuff, so 3 days isn't any large deal. After 3 days placed him on a foodstuff plan of no better than 3 betta pellets an afternoon. each few days, pass an afternoon. In per week there should be 2 days at the same time as he would not get any foodstuff. Bettas will save ingesting see you later as you save putting foodstuff of their tank. they don't recognize at the same time as to end. also, make confident the clear out on your tank isn't arising a sturdy cutting-edge, as that ought to truly impression his skill to swim.

Answer 5

Your fish might be constapaited, all i can do is say feed him a little extra and hope he poops all up in his tank... Another answer might be that he's pooping when you're not looking and is eating it... I have that nasty problem with my fish but they seem to like it... eww...

Answer 6

when you changed the water you probably put him into shock and he pooped so much he's pooped out right now. Don't worry about your goldfish's intestinal functions, they take care of it themselves, no help is needed.

Answer 7

I totally agree with ELAINE C - I would not worry too much, if it goes in, it WILL come out eventually. Might be eating it though. Any other fish in the tank? Mabe they are eating it.

Answer 8

have you been feeding it?
As long as you feed them a couple times a week, don't woorry about the poo. It just dirties the water anyway

Answer 9

so...really? you thought it was the capitols that would attract the attention? I was kinda sucked in by the whole pooing fish saga....

Answer 10

Most likely constipated
