Fish Have White Poo

[Just_Another_One]

Ive just noticed some little peices of whiteish poop floating around my tank. They are not stringy or clear or hanging from anyones anus.

The fish are all acting fine. Bellies look normal and no flashing or darting around.

Is it normal for some fish to have white poop regulary and stil be healthy or should I be worried about Internal Parasites?

Thanks

Normal on occasion, if it's consistently like that it's a concern.

Thanks Tolak

I added some new barbs a few days ago so I think they are the culprits. I'd never seen it before in my tank. Maybe they wern't getting fed properly at the lfs and since its not stringy or clear I will just moniter it for a few days now and see how it goes.

Thanks again

My fish do this from time to time, and no problems.

That is what I was thinking as well. I think only if its clear, stringy, and/or hanging from the anus is when you have to worry about the parasites?

I was worrying before but now i am a bit better after this reassurance. I just don't want to have to use any medications. Im a bit paranoid with using strong chemicals in my house so I like to avoid it at all costs

Thanks for reassuring me it SHOULD be okay.
