Discus Parasite?

[diggler81]

Kinda new to discus. just bought some new discus and one of them seem kinda stressed and has white poop. is that a sign of a parasite? and if so any good ideas to get rid of it?

White poop is usually a sign of something internal. A course of metro would prob be your best place to start. You might want to post this in the Disease section for more answers.

Treat with Api General cure or Tetra parasite guard. If you can get the GC use that.

It could b a parasite. But when I kept discus, stress alone could cause the white stringy poo. I was told that it was the intestinal lining.
Is the fish still eating? If it is, might not b parasite
If it is a parasite, move it to another tank and treat. Discus like to eat food off the bottom of tank and that's where the poo is with the parasite in it. ( try to keep the other fish from eating parasites)
Hope this helps a little
