I gotta tell you, I've never seen my Rainbow fish poop, but based on how much they eat, I know that they must.

Sure, it's one of the ways they create ammonia with breath and urine (yes, fish pee). Since you're new I suggest checking this out: nitrogen cycle

If you consume matter you must excrete matter. 3 exceptions:

• Tardigrades - These little alien-like critters only excrete when they molt. ...
• Demodex mites (face mites) - These little stowaways lack any form of an anus. ...
• Jellyfish - Jellyfish is yet another animal that lacks an anus.

they do never be ashamed to ask questions. i’m not gonna lie, I didn’t know fish peed so we both learned something here. I just thought they only pooped.

Jellyfish do excrete waste, through their mouth…Demodex mites are strange though, they store the waste in their guts until they die.

I stand corrected, TClare. People can too!

My fish are very modest and discreet when they poop.
