[hotlemond]

In the days of freshwater fish keeping, they net the fish out to remove the worm and apply fish anticeptic/antibiotic, but needs careful hands. Next best thing is to get medicine lor.

Some form of parasite?

[FuEl]

Does'nt sound like a worm...more details pls?

[chinhun]

not very sure leh

just some white colour kind of string at the bottom of the clownfish

[Kelmen]

Maybe its velvet? Your fish got breathing problem? Dangling near the surface?

[chinhun]

i think is is the white substance comin out from the anus.

i think is is the white substance comin out from the anus.

Sounds like constipated output... unfinished bowels... LOLZ

[chinhun]

so is there any serious problem?

[mantis]

I think it's having "stringing excretion" and this means the fish is having some kinda of disease....probably of the digestive tract.....can't remember the precise nature of the disease though. But I certainly won't buy a fish with "stringing excretion".

[Kelmen]

Well, that's "stringy feces".

From what I read, it can be due to intestine parasites. Some suggest Pipzine to cure it.

I'm having that problem too, but can't find that product. Using some "self-claimed" stuff, yet to observe the result.
