Not unusual for a fish to drag poop around for extend period of time. A lot is based on what it eats with mysis shrimp as an example. if you attempt to approach it with a net, often , it will shake that stream of poop

Does not appear so. Generally white stringy with poor appetite or pinched stomach are warning signs.
Any pics of fish under white lighting ?

No yet. The cb look good. No spots or anything just the stringy be brown poop. I might need to change it diet. From mysis frozen food, pellets and flakes to more appropriate food for angel fish.
