So ,how often does a res poo (or should),considering that his diet consists of pellets and vegetables?

Thanks in advance!

Lol! My girl poops once a day but sometimes you can miss it since she (eww) eats it up..

My male RES poops about 5 minutes after he eats. My female RES poops randomly... sometimes twice a day, or once a week. But always right after I do a complete water change.

Yep ,my guy also eats his waste but i haven't seen any poo for a week now and that got me worried! And i definitely don't want to think he eats it every day...anyway ,maybe its because its getting warmer and warmer water doesn't inspire him...i don't know.

lol this may seem kinda mean, but I have two two year old turtles so they aren't that big, I keep bigger rosies in the tank and they eat alot of the poop and clean up missed veggies and such whats. plus they eat their own poop and left over pellets. kinda a sick cycle

Gross! My tetras eat the skin that my turtle sheds so I'm not one to talk though
