Hey everyone,
For the past couple months Jake's been eating very rarely, close to once or twice a week. For about 2 weeks now, he's been eating pretty good, i give him worms 2-3 times a week and veggies twice a day, and he eats everything now, there's never anything left. However, his feces have gone from solid, cylindrical, and dark brown/black, to sort of greenish and mushy. Today when i got home it looked like someone rubbed vanilla ice cream against the tiles. It looked like a white, dried up smear about 2 inches wide. For worms i feed him phoenix worms, but i've ran out so i ran to petsmart and got some mealworms and wax worms for now (yes i know there not the best). For veggies i give him kale and romaine lettuce, and toss some fruit in there. I just started to give him fruit. I normally put in chopped up strawberries cause he loves those, but i also give him cantaloupe occasionally. Here are the Stats of my tank:
