Hey you guys. I think I saw Harry go potty for the first time tonight. I checked on him a few mins ago and there was this white cloud right under his belly that sank to the bottom of the tank. It wasn't stringy. I gave him gel-tek when he first came. Should I soak his food in it again? He isn't skinny and still eats like a pig. He was trying to bite my arm earlier while I was putting more sea shells in his tank. He looked determined. :D He was acting wild like he was trying to jump out of the tank! He's still twitching some but I guess it isn't worse. I haven't seen him rubbing on the coral and shells in the past few days.

Thanks Again, Beth

Harry has been my baby, or should I say my son's baby [ the fish is a traitor :crying: ] for 5 weeks and
1 day!

I'm not really sure, I've never seen a cloud of white poo... is your substrate white sand? If so, he may have farted sand.

I used to see the white cloud when Clooney attacked an mussle or clamm and i would vent from the gills. If its definately at the bum end then maybe its undigested food? Whta has he/she been eating?
