Ugh, foxface has stringy white poop

[Bryce M.]

thin stands of poop, he can't disconnect it and has been wiggling it around. Super thing and white almost like chaeto?
I just had a thought, immediately I went to parasite but it looks like chaeto? can this been undigested chaeto? or does parasite poop like this?

Stringy and white = internal parasites/worms.
Feed: General Cure + Food + Focus for 10-14 days.

Internal parasites can evolve into internal bacterial infections.

Ordered some hex shield, I'll feed the other fish too just to be safe

Great idea. Almost all fish have some sort of internal parasite issue. They eat each other's poop! Talk about sharing . . . . LOL

Feed everyone. This has metro in it so follow the instructions. More is definitely not better in this case. Works great though

my hex shield just came in today. I feed NLS every day..... clowns love it and went crazy...... foxface hates it. most likely the garlic. I got him to eat some, I'd give more details but my cat is walking all over me and my laptop

He's eating it like a pig now, I'm seeing some bulk getting back into him and his poop isn't stringy. It's not normal but it's getting better that's for sure. I'll feed it for two more days
