Hello all - I have quarantined new cherry barbs for about 4 weeks with no signs of issues. I transferred them into my display tank about 1.5 weeks ago. Just yesterday I noticed one female with some "white poop" that gets stuck hanging off. It doesn't get very long and appeared to fall off from yesterday and a bit more coming out today (sometimes I look and don't see any fish with it, and then later noticed a little coming out of her). I have never seen it get very long or stringy/worm like (not inches long trailing off behind her like I've seen parasite pictures of, just a very little nub maybe quarter inch if that). Yesterday and today it has the consistency of normal dark poop (parts start/stop, look little chunky in spots) just white in color.
No other fish at this time has white poop like this, this is the only one. I did skip a day of feeding yesterday. I also have a zucchini in the tank for some other fish.
Also appears to be acting/swimming normal - not skinny body.
I know this video maybe a whole separate discussion but I did find this and found it was interesting that some fish may pass "white poop". Any thoughts on this as well?
Attached some rough pictures if anyone has thoughts as I never kept cherry barbs before this and not sure if they have any specific digestion issues.
