What isn’t this?

[Gourami Swami]

I don't see any signs of a fish having a parasite, my fish are all very healthy and none are thin, my loaches are normal, my peacock gudgeons are fat and have a lot of eggs in them (I have all females), my plecos don't have a sunken stomach, my tetras and barbs aren't thin and emaciated, and my shark is doing fine too, I really have no Idea what it could be that has parasites if any, I think it might be from my plecos because I don't know any other fish that can poop like that, it looks like it's more clear with something green/brown in it than white though

"sign of the parasite" would be the stringy white poop. Again it could be something else causing it (clear and white are used interchangeably in this description) but the first thing I think of would be hexamita. This could also be the only sign at this stage; lack of other symptoms don't mean your fish are clear. I would monitor them and if you see more poop like this, try feeding food soaked in Epsom salts; this is a natural laxative and remedy for hexamita. I would also keep water extra clean if possible.

ok, I feed mainly frozen food, should I just add epsom salt into the frozen food when I thaw it out? and assuming it is my plecos I think I'll add epsom salt to the repashy super food I feed them.

Hmm, usually I soak pellet foods in a strong Epsom solution; not sure if frozen food will be able to absorb it. Will your fish eat pellets? Usually frozen food is not the best staple food unless the fish are strictly carnivorous. And pellets would be easier to soak in the Epsom.

White stringy poop isn't always parasites, it's a sign of a fish having an upset tummy.
Could be parasites, could have be constipated, could be a number of things.
With smaller fish it's hard to catch em pooping. You can see larger fish have a dodgy one sometimes then they are perfectly fine the next day, if it's continuous and the fish looks skinny or stops eating then treat for parasites.

is there a poop dr in the room????

My fish are mostly too small to eat pellets, I do feed them freeze dried to if that would work

After going thru extensive research I have determined that it is not:
The Eiffel Tower
A umbrella
An elephant
The titanic (not exactly sure that's right, since titanic is at the bottom of tuh watah)

I know my dojo ones are ok, I haven't gotten a chance to count all my kuhlis tho, I have to tear apart the entire tank to find them all, including the overflow because they go into there and hide in the media, I made some Repashy Morning Wood and added in epsom salt and I'm starting to feed them to my fish to see if that might help
