ok,
this might seem odd, but what is the normal color for DPs stools? Just got mine 5 days ago and I see small purplish-reddish stools. I was wondering if that was their normal color or if that might be IPs coming out (althought it doesn't move so if it's IPs it's dead). No other signs of disease: one of them had a very sunken belly, but 30 minutes after being in the aquarium, the belly went back to normal and has never sunk since. They are all very active, hunting and getting territorial! No signs of stress. So... are these normal stools?
Thanks!

Yup, normal. Diet high in bloodworms makes poop reddish, mine usually poop brown/black from their blackworm/snail diet.
