Hi all

I’m aware that white stool can be indicative of internal parasites, but was wondering if this is typical of parasitic infection.

sometimes stool is all white, sometimes white mixed with brown (shown), and sometimes all brown


This is from a lyretail anthias that I have had in quarantine for nearly 4 months now. I’ve used metro in the food as well as in the tank water, as well as two different treatments of API general cure and treatments of PriziPro.

other medications I’ve used include Furan 2, Paragard, cupramine, kanaplex, and melafix. None of which has corrected the problem.


I would just like some other opinions as to wether or not this is concerning for an internal parasite. I don’t want to add them to my main display if they’re harboring something. Fish looks fine and is eating fine.

Thanks for your help

White and stringy "can" be a symptom of internal pathogens. If the fish is eating normal/more than normal and its stomach looks "pinched in" then its probably pathogens.
The samples you posted show multi-color.
Looks good to go as long as the fish's body looks normal too.
