    the smaller of my 2 clownfish has a clear string of poop that wont break off. he's not showing any signs of stress and is behaving pretty normallly. my water parameters are all great and i was just wondering what this is and what i should do about it.

    It'll release with his next pooping. Wouldn't worry about it.

    This sometimes occurs when feeding dry foods frequently, minor digestive issues cause the long thin white/ clear type poops

    do you feed any frozen foods ?

    What makes these signs different from say, parasites? I'm just wondering.

    I dont think the parasites come in a "stringy" form, that would be a worm type.
