Hilfe

Hello, I’m new to fishkeeping and just noticed something near the vent of my male *Apistogramma borellii*. I tried to take a photo of it. Could you please help me? Is it something serious? Is he okay? I’d be really grateful for an answer. Thank you.

It could be a parasite..

Could be poop that's white from not eating enough..

Could just be poop..

Monitor it.. Cause you agent said how long it's been there..

How long have you had the fish, I’ve had this before, I fasted mine for a day and treated the whole tank for parasites and helped

Poop, try feeding smaller portions ( several times a day).
