Help with brown stringy poo.

[TatorTaco]

Bought a few fish online and they're in an observation tank for the last 1.5 weeks. My tailspot blenny has long (1") brown stringy poop that sticks to it's vent. No other fish seem affected. They're all active, alert, and eating.

I feed Reef Nutrition TDO pellets.

Is PraziPro the right call here? Metroplex?

Actually brown is good and there may be mucus in the stomach lining causing this. While TDO is a good pellet source, the fish also need meats, feeding foods such as LRS Fish Frenzy, small plankton, chopped krill and spirulina brine shrimp. Metro would have to be applied precisely by weight and makes the food taste bitter. Change up the diet and you should see change overall.

With no other symptoms - I would not worry about it. If you think there is some constipation - you could try adding more brine shrimp temporarily. Agree with @vetteguy53081 - would not treat with oral antibiotics.
