maybe its internal bacteria. not too sure bout that but certainly not your filter's prob. goldfish that size quite hard to get sucked into a filter.

long white stringy poo is a sign of constipation, if any of the other fish get it, stop feeding for a few days then feed them peas, that will clear the system.

white poo is a sign of Argulus Foliaceus? or fish louse and parasitize the skin or gill of the fresh water fishes. It causes tissue damage and secondary infections. Internal bacterial infection.....?? i read it that day in a book...Hmmm......just a thought

Argulus is a parasite that clings to the outside of the fish.. like a tic on a dog.
i dont think that it would make their poo white.
its most likely just constipation, if its not that i could be something bacterial..

Hmmm i see....it was just a thought hehe.Well it said argulus can cause internal infection.... read bout it and it said it makes their poo whitish.....hehe.....i see, constipation? Hmmm ok, i still have much to learn

oh right maybe.. actually it is possible.. but if there are no argulus on the fish (very visible little bugs.. yuck!) then it wont be that.

i dun think there is any bug on thier body.. cos if it is, i may notice it. now everytime when i saw little fish lying bottom or swim near, i will be take more notice bout his attitude.. if not, i duno he die for wat kind of desease..
