I noticed this today guys, see the poop? Or i least I think is poop

White stringy poop is no good. Feed him peas and soak pellets in Epson salt to feed him.

Google or search on here white stringy poop

Thanks so much, I was just reading that same thread you linked, going to move him to a 30G and treat him with some epson salt.

Like I said before these guys seem to be really succeptable to parasite issues. Good luck

Just told me about it, and you are correct, thanks a lot for the heads up, after your post I kept an extra eye on him.

Don't rush treatment is the best advice I can give you. Be proactive but don't overwhelm him with meds.

So I put him on a 30G hospital tank, to start treating him with some Epson salt, and I left for a couple of hours , bought the salt, when I got back home I noticed droppings in the bottom and they where brown/reddish poops. I haven't started to treat him yet, is that normal, hell poop white and then normal color poop if he has that stomach infection?

Yes thats normal some people have this for a long on their fish. Comes and goes. I had it as well with one my flowerhorns. He was fine and came back a few times but hes completely fine now.

Thanks just wanted to make sure I didn't medicate him unnecessarily

Well, he seems to be doing great, no more white poop, hes been on the hospital tank being treated with Epson salt, he never lost his appetite, and he seems normal, all droppings are normal . Going to keep him on the 30G for a couple of more days .
