Fish Waste

Post by percy »

Hello, just had a look in my sieve and found two pieces of fish waste that is transparent and jelly like.
Is this something i should worry about, or is it normal?
thanks in advance

hi percy
I can be a sign of hexamita or other internal pathogens if you have a scope take one and do a smear on a slide and take a look just to be on the safe side
