How much are you feeding. I have read that it is mucas caused from not enough food. Its belly looks a little pinched. Try feeding more if it is eating.Hi all, I recently started up a new tank and once it finished cycling I went and got a pair of clownfish to add. They both seem very healthy and act normally, however recently one has started having long and stringy white poop. The first time I saw it the poop actually was not white and was darker, but now the fish occasionally gets white poop. Again, both fish seem to be completely healthy and are eating normally with no hesitation at all. I’ve seen a lot of varying information, some saying it can just be digestion/constipation issues while others say if the poop is white it is surely caused by parasites. With this fish acting normally, should I wait before seeking any sort of treatment, or should I look into it right away? If so, what would be the best option for treatment? I do not have a QT available where I’m currently living, so I’d ideally need something that can be done within this tank (the other clown is the only other fish currently in the tank). I’ve attached a couple pictures (taken at different times), please let me know what you all think.
I hadn’t considered this, and I’ve also seen people say similar problems can happen from digestive issues from over feeding so I’ve been trying to avoid that. I’ll feed a little more in the next few days and keep an eye on them.How much are you feeding. I have read that it is mucas caused from not enough food. Its belly looks a little pinched.

Id recommend getting some frozen food instead. I like reef frenzy. Some pellets are not super nutritious. Also, you should feed a decent amount, but every other day. either way, maybe get a naccarius to deal with leftoversI hadn’t considered this, and I’ve also seen people say similar problems can happen from digestive issues from over feeding so I’ve been trying to avoid that.
