judge a fish by its poop

there are ways to tell if your gold fish is doing well. and one of it would be looking at their poop.

long & thin
same color as there food but its thin and long. this normally caused by stress and not eating well. fish should be closely watched.
white with air bubbles
there isn't any color to the poop and there is air trapped in the poop. this is signs of constipation, the food isnt being prossed in the fish. fish should be not feed for three days and then feed nothing but peas for three days.
thin & white
there isn't any color to the poop. this is a sign of a bacterial infection inside of the fish. fish should be placed on anitoboitics and feed nothing but anitibotic foods.
long & clear (zig zag) with air bubbles
there isnt any color to the poop but it is long and with air bubbles in the poop. this is normally the fish reabsorbing eggs.
long & thick
the poop is long but the same color as the food you feed them but it trails the fish. this fish is feed to much and is a little consitapated. fish shouldnt be feed for three days.
short to medium
good healthy poop should be the same color as what you have feed them. the poop should be short to medium length and not be trailing the fish for long lengths of time.

mine seems to be the long & thick poop. hmnn... have to reduce the feedings. have to.
