On eof cichlid had green poop today. Can it be that I just feed them green peas two days ago, and I let them fast yesterday.

I heard letting the cichlids fast once a week is good, so I let them fast yesterday. I assume the green poop is from the green peas, am I right or can the fish be sick?

Thanks,

PS I have learned a lot from this board and I appreciate every question and answer I have read here.

Green is an ok color. Clear is what is not good.

Clear usually indicates a parasite or a blockage. Most times it's a parasite.
