When messing around with the tank today I started taking a close look at my puffers poop. Don't ask me why, but my GSP had I.P and I cured that, and I was almost expecting this one to have them, especially since I know they are wild caught.

The poop was a solid ball, but when I broke it apart, this was what resulted, stringy clumps. The worms almost look segmented, similar to blood worms. Yesterday I fed him a small amount of blood worms. Could be he passed them without digesting them throughly? Should I just keep watching or should I start treating it as if it had I.P just in case.

It could be undigested bloodwormm i've done this a couple of times in the past when i have mis-calculated and fed him a bit too much, what he doesnt eat comes out the other end like that.
