Treatment for stringy white feces

[Very Fishy]

I have four PB discus that are 4 months old. They are healthy and eating well. Last night after I had cleaned the tank and done the water change, I noticed what looked like a white stringy feces floating in the water. How should I treat or this? I have seen medicated food pellets in the LFS that you feed your fish once a month and it is supposed to clear up any intestinal infections. Does this stuff work?

You have 4 month old discus that are healthy and eating well. You found something in your tank that may be white stringy feces or may not be. I wouldn't run to the medicine cabinet yet . . . . Discus shed slime coat and get upset tummies and recover all the time. Wait and see ;)

could also be a worm, segmented or not, cestode or nematode. what are you feeding?
