Can you tell me if this "poo" is anything to worry about? When I check my other discus the excrement is solid so as soon as I saw this I began to worry...

135 gallon with 40 gallon sump
11 discus
ph 7.2 aged 24 hrs
0 ammonia/0 nitrites/<10 nitrates
+50% pwc every other day
sand bottom less than 1"
AM-Flakes & pellets
PM-FDBW

Apologies for posting in two forums

Mmmhh it could be hex, besides is fish has any other fish poop like that. Take some time and check them, segmented and light color poop could be early stages of hex.

How is his behavior? Like is he eating, playing around with to the other fish, active? Don't rush in to medications, observe the fish well then we'll take it from there. And try to get a better picture. :)

Behavior seems normal, eating but not aggressively. I will keep watching and updating any changes. Thank you :)
