Full Version: Bloody Stool?

I found what appears to be bloody stool in my Azureus tank. The turds look about 70% normal/solid and then the remain section appears to be not so solid and blood. The stool smells like coagulated blood to me, but I could be wrong.

I dont have pics at the moment but can try to get some if they help.

Has anyone seen this?
Stool not solid = abnormal

Stool red to 'Reddish' = potentially abnormal. Decide if some dietary supplement or possibly fruit flies caused an unusual occurrence.

Smell ? Wow...I've never gotten that close apparently. I wonder if frog blood would smell anything like the 'blood' we humans recognize, i.e mammal blood.

Pics would be supra valuable here.
The best way to find out what's wrong with fecal matter is a professional fecal exam.
Red color in fecal matter is generally either eyes from FFs or blood. The later is not a good sign and can be anything from bacterial infections to multiple parasites.
I'd get a fecal exam ASAP.
