Calling all poop experts

Hi these fish has gone through 15 days of copper and then a sterile tank everyone is eating and doing well. I see stringy poop flying around the tank its not solid white it half white and half brown. See pic. What should i do?

Brown stringy can just be constipation. If it's white then I would soak food with GC + focus and feed for 14 days.

It wouldn't hurt to feed them the medicated food anyway, to be safe. It doesn't look to me like the white-stringy poop we associate with intestinal parasites, but I de-worm all of my fish as a preventative.

Agree. When in doubt, treat. So many fish come in with internal parasites these days.

Too many vitamins can cause color variances in fish waste. Do add garlic extract and vitamins occasionally but not 7 days a week
