another thing my ranchus doesn't grow big anymore.

when first bought the bigger one is 6 inches, now 8 inches only

white tail one bought at 5.5 inches now 7 inches only.

no improve in head growth or buffalo cheeks.

is it because they ate salt?

This morning, all my ranchu produced white poos. I thought oh gosh, something must be terribly wrong with the water condition. Then I realised that all are still so lively and fighting for food. Under close scrutiny around the tank, I discovered that there are little eggs dispersed in different corners.

So one of my ranchus had laid eggs in the night or early morning and those poos that were white are just wat they had eaten. They were just taking a monthly protein from the female goldfish.

I am correct, by evening, their poos are back in brown colour. Thus, they were not plagued by internal parasites. That really made me beri relieved.
