I switched to this moss thinking they couldnt injest it, because the strings are so long!! WRONG!!
Last night when on my cleaning run, I noticed a large mass in the corner of the tank. It was moss that he had pooped out, a bunch of it. I thought he was acting a little strange yesterday. But he did eat a few crix (only 2).
This morning when I checked on him, he was in the corner trying to pass another mass of poop mixed with moss but could not pass it.
He was walking around the tank with this hanging out of him
I had to go in there with my tweezers and gently pull it out.
I pulled 2 long strings of spagnum moss out of his butt!!
I hope he is rid of it, but I wont know until I check his next BM!
I took the moss out of his moist hide and replaced it with the only thing I could think of, paper towle (whole ones, not pieces!!)
I'm suprised he didnt just get a bad case of impacktion!!!
I'll just have to keep an eye on him for a few days.
Can anyone please suggest a moist hide substrate that cant be injested?
