I made the recent newbie mistake of adding a fish without quarantine and had some small issues that scared me. So I've been spending some time learning about signs, symptoms, and intervention. I came across a post about white stringy poop and how it was related to internal parasites. I then realized how I've never actually seen my fish poop. I know they poop because it's all over the dang place but I never actually seen them do it LOL. So today being my day off I literally spent the whole day watching the tank to see my fish poop LOL I took a poop break but for the most part I spent all day watching these fish. I did notice one of my clowns had kind of a long stringy white poop that stuck around for a second and did not fully disconnect from him. However my main concern is that I think I seen my copperband butterfly poop dust. Has anyone ever seen anything like that and what could it be indicative of??? Are there any other poopy signs I should be looking for?
