Fish poo

[tent boy]

Some of my fish when I get ready to feed them poop what looks like white sand. Is this sand or is it poo that looks like the white sand? The fox face is one fish that does this.

some fish do poo sand. Species such as Orange Shoulder Tang and other detrivores often ingest sand along with food. Foxface is such a pig it could easily ingest sand along with whatever else it's inhaling.

My Tennenti tang poos sand (along with some sizeable turds). Perfectly normal as Gary indicated.

makes sense. Tenneti replaces olivaceous in certain areas.

Of course, the BIG sand poopers are Parrotfish.
Think of a tropical beach as being Parrotfish poop and you'll be at least a little happier to stay home in snowy western New York.
