Just noticed my coral beauty angel fish struggling to get its waste out. It finally did. But could it be a parasite. Ir just waste.

Have a coral beauty in a friends tank that is fat and healthy. Always seems to have a long poo streamer... I think it's a result of a varied and good diet from grazing algae, sponge, inverts, and prepared foods in quantity...

That is longer than normal feces. I can't tell from the photo, what color was it? What foods are you feeding this fish and how long have you had it?
