Question
Hey,  I have a 20 gallon tank in my house, and i have a few goldfish inside of it. I am quite used to thier process, what they eat, will eventually come out, that kind of thing. Today i noticed one of my goldfish had a poop that was a neon orange colour, and another one of my goldfish has a poop that was bright blue. Is this normal? And if something is wrong, what can I do to fix this?

Answer
Jamie,                                                                 I hope you are feeding them goldfish food and not tropical fish food. They need a diet high in vitamin C. I wouldn't worry too much they poop all kinds of colors. Make sure you give them a frozen pea thawed and squished once a week to fend off swimbladder infections that they are prone to. Also you can  go to your local petshop and get a veggie clip and give them half an orange slice once a week. High in vitamin C and they will live you for it. Good Luck, Tina
