Hey everyone. So I have had these two clowns for a year now and I had gotten them from a person quitting the hobby who had them for 2 years. I have not added anything new to the tank and the previous owner just added a blue damsel who doesn't seem to have an issue seen as white stringy poop on the female clown. I have noticed my female clown expelling some long, stringy, white poop before, but whatever the cause, it does not seem to affect diet or energy levels.
My question is could my clown have been living with these internal parasites for years or could it just be from a high protein diet found in the pellets I have been feeding. I feed mysis or brine shrimp every 4 or 5 days or so but aside from those days they seem to enjoy the pellets and flake mixture I feed just fine. The other clown does not seem to have any white stringy feces and the blue damsel does not have irregular feces (I assume they would have "caught" by now.) There are only these three fish in the tank fyi.
Thanks!
