Platy Poops A Lot?

I couldn't stop smiling reading this post.
Platies are poop machines

I know it's an old post, but I found it after worrying that my two platys poop too much too. Very frequently, and more often than not has it trailing behind them up to 2-3 inches, no exaggeration! Looks like it's just "normal" for platys!

Yeah, it's gross but platies trail a lot of poop behind them.
