Opaline Gourami White Poop

[Peepss]

My Opaline gourami has been having normal poops lately but tonight I noticed he has this long white/clear string hanging. I’ve seen some people suggest internal parasites as well as just general poor water quality or from a crustacean? We do have shrimp in the tank & one recently died.

Should I quarantine or treat the whole tank?

Any suggestions?

Why are there two threads of this? Either way, I think you should quarantine your fish.
