ADF internal parasites?

[OrkyBetta]

I wanted a relatively quick answer. Can ADF's get internal parasites? My ADF looks like he has white stringy poo, I've never seen him poop, but there is always white stringy stuff floating in his water, that isn't in my other ADF's tank. Is it internal parasites? If so, should I feed him medicated food?

Hi OrkyBetta

If you are feeding your ADF good food and clean water, and if he appears healthy, then he probably is healthy. Don't even look for his poop!

What you are seeing in the tank is most likely bits of his skin which he will shed frequently. This is entirely normal, and it is even perfectly fine if he eats it.

Sorry for the huge delay in replying, I sort of lost this thread. Thanks so much for the help.
