she seems to prefer eating her poo instead of eating her food, it just floats there and she'll go to the bottom of the tank and try to get the poo from in the rocks then she'll end up eating the rocks, im looking for bigger rocks but other than that what should i do? is this a bad thing or is it normal?

As gross as it sounds, its pretty normal. If youre that worried be ready to scoop it out at every poo.
