    If common folk realized the amount of microorganisms on themselves...

    Going in for round two- the stubby clown had white poop while his partner didn't. The foxface did too, and the butterfly promptly ate the entire turd :/ .but this was after I dosed prazipro, which always makes everyone poop weird crap out. So I think he's just getting cleaned out from the dewormed because he's never had white poop. hopefully this is will knock the parasites out in the other clown now.

    Today his poop is clear, which brown parts in the string. Is it possible since he is a stubby clown that his intestines are messed up since he's shorter in length?

    george, I think you need to stop being so concerned about your fish's poop. Pay attention to their eating habits and swimming patterns to monitor their health.

    I'm worried that if I leave the white poop, their eating habits will change, and then I'm really screwed. I do tend to worry about everything though. I'll leave them alone for a few weeks .

    I just wanted to update I case someone in the future has the same problem I had.

    The clowns are pooping normal now, must've been nothing, or corrected itself. I worry too much.
