What cold this mean? I'm feeding my fish twice a day with a little algae pellet snack in the middle.

It's probably a case of constipation.... or something like fish dirrehea (sp?). Try some frozen peas (yes, the ones that you eat or if you don't the ones you could eat. lol.) this will help give your fish some ruffage which is always good for bowel movements.

ok thanks! Should i not give them as many of the little pellets? they are the sinking goldfish kind... and I have to pull the skin off of the peas right?

You should only feed one time a day as much as your fish can eat in a few minutes. Any more than that is overfeeding. You can leave the peas whole. No need to skin them, but you can if you'd like to.

Wow! I guess I'm just a sucker for the begging aren't I?
Thanks for the advice!
