i think carpintis is sick

[Dominator]

it has not ate for almost two weeks, i thought it was stressed by the hybrid texas. today, i saw it has white, thin, and long poop hanging on its vent, and barely swims, hiding inside a decor, i once heard that white poops is a sight of internal or whatever infection, what do u think?

Also it is breathing so hard, mouth is opening bigger than usual.

Ah man your carpintis died that sucks man . Sounds like it had internal parasites how are the rest of your fish. Keep an eye out you have to treat this stuff right away. Sorry to see.

Man that sucks...

I know this is a late question but did you try anything? Quarantine/tank salt/meds, etc.?

You waited too long before taking action! besides the internal parasites it looks like it took quite the beating. You should have seperated it when it first was being picked on.

oh, was caused by beating? it was beat up by my hybrid texas, so i added a divider, i used salt to treat it, raised temperature quite high, and change water every 1 or 2 days with extra water conditioner to help fins to regenerate.
Will it affect other fish in the tank? Few seconds after it died, i removed it right away using a net.

It died a little over a hour from your first post, It was far too late to treat it.

it died 20 hrs ago, i meant will other fish be affected?

I meant that yesterday at 1:40 you asked for help, Then at 2:54 you said it was dead. That's a little over an hour. I have purchased wild caught fish that have had intestinal worms and treated them with Levamisole. Keep an eye on your other fish for signs of white stringy poo. I wouldn't treat until you see signs.
