The other day I fed my fish some orange and nothing after. You know orange looks the same coming out so there was no denying the poop that followed was orange but then later that evening my girl started pooping this very rigid somewhat thinner brown poop. It looked like the driftwood in her tank. Do you think this could be harmful? I would hate to lose a fish to intestinal splinters or something strange like that.

I always said goldfish are anythingthatstopsmovingivores but this is ridiculous!

wow thats weird. hope they dont choke or whatever though, youve got to monitor them closely. thats my advice.

Definitely. I am leaving for 4 days and non fish people are taking care of our pets. I think I will remove it while we are gone.

I know that plecos eat driftwood but I don't think goldies can digest it. Unless there was a chunk of it that was loose and the goldie just sucked it off and ate it.

That's what I keep thinking. I have seen nothing else like it since. It seriously looked like she was pooping a stick. It was so rigid and colored the same as the drift wood. Leave it to my little nut to present me with yet another mystery/dilemma. She is just like having a baby sometimes.

I hope she is Ok.

lol! arnt all all goldies like that? constantly have you worried!!
hopeshe is ok!
