Is this normal with ich? Poo hanging from clear mucous-like string

This is it. You can see the poo hangin from like an inch long trail behind him

that is causative from an intestinal parasite. try adding selcon or some garlic additive to your food. quarantine with medication is best though.

and in case you dont know, if that fish dies, it can nuke your tank.

What is this parasite? I'm waiting for my levels to balance out in my QT before sticking him in there.

Also this string is about 3"long now

If the poo is white (can't tell for sure from the pic), it could mean internal/intestinal parasites or gill flukes. For that, I would treat with Prazipro.

No, it's the normal green as expected from his diets here is however what looks to be a tiny white dot connecting the two together though

 

[Reefer54]

it is possible it just needs more meat in its diet, but its most likely a parasite, especially if you did not QT yet. And if you did not QT, you put that in your DT, now you have it in your DT. So the DT should sit fallow 12 weeks until QT is done and disallow the parasite to spread.

If it's green, I would not worry about it. At least not yet. It could be a dietary issue or sometimes a fish's intestines just gets irritated (think humans with diarrhea).

However, referring back to your previous thread on Ich, that needs to be addressed. However you wish to do it. A lot of times secondary problems arise from allowing Ich to go unchecked for too long. They mushroom into something big and that's what ultimately takes the fish down.
