Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):

One of my female cherry barbs seems a bit off. Shes keeping away from the others hiding in the plants. Her month is moving a lot but the gills are not. Last night I noticed a string of white poo "I think" coming out of her. Its a little longer this morning, she has not eaten as far as I can see for 2 - 3 days now.

Volume and Frequency of water changes:

30% Change weekly

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank:

Cardon pad in filter

Tank inhabitants:

12 Neon Tetras,
5 Cherry Barbs (2 Male 3 Female),
6 Five Banded Barbs,
6 Zebra Danios,
4 Clown Loaches

Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):

None

Exposure to chemicals:

Just ran a ich treatment (Protozin)


Is this something more serious or just a case of constipation? Its only this one fish effected. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Ive added a couple more videos. She seems to be hiding as I say but this is the most she has moved out from behind the plant in a while. Also I noticed if one of the other females cherrys comes near she will chase it off...
