Hey, just want to share with you guys a weird behavior my fish exhibit. I have a coral beauty that loves to eat poop. seriously. When my other fish poop, the coral beauty will think it is food, and chiong to eat. I know alot of fish will sample poop, but will spit it out. But my this coral beauty, eat the poop liao, never spit out. I have observed this phenomena everyday for the past 2 weeks. Anyone have a fish that eat poop? or behave in a manner most unusual, please share haha!

It is confirm not because it is hungry. I feed my fish 4 to 5 meals a day. Small, light feedings. Also, i feed them a variety of food. The 4 - 5 feedings include pellet, mysis, henry's food, fresh prawn and lettuce. So its confirm not hungry or bored with its food. Some mental illness :yeah:

Lemon, could it be that the fish that is pooping hasn't been digesting his food properly, then the poop eater gets attracted to the smell of the undigested food?

Happened to my adult dog once, digestion problem. Took a s--t, turned around and recognised his breakfast inside then..... chomp! :pinch:

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

It can actually be beneficial to your tank! Each food item digested 2 times. Less waste. Leftover nutrients absorbed on the second digestion cycle.
