Bi-Color Stringy Poop??

[Gilbert50]

I’ve treated with GC...only dosed in the tank water, not the food. The poop is stringy but not white...it’s definitely green in color. This is happening every time...long stringy green poop. I may need to start and treat the food with focus & GC. I’ve been feeding NLS growth pellets (.5mm) very small but he doesn’t seem to be too interested. He loves the green and red algae! I may try to soak mysis to see if he will eat that with the GC. Any suggestions?? Thanks everyone!!

Keep trying, but dont go on doing it for too long without results.
I have found that some fish have stringy poop no matter how much i try to de-worm them. It seems to go away over time as they mature. I have 1 fish that has long poop. It is 2 years old. Fat and happy

Thank you lapin! He will be in QT until May 25, so should have plenty of time to observe, ect. He is on day 25 of Copper Power...and has done great. Hopefully he will be ok! Have a great weekend!!

if It’s not white, then my guess is it’s because of the diet specially the algae. Try mixing up it’s diet with something more meaty and see if it helps.

Thank you lagatbezan! I feed NLS pellets, algae, and frozen PE mysis. Will just be watching him and hopefully he grows out of it!! Have a great day!!

He has seem to have out grown the long stringy poop...it has always shown a dark green/red color. Thanks again guys for the advice and help!!
