If it is several worms or hair like things sticking out of the anus, it is likely camellanus and is treated with Levamisole Hydrochloride. There is another medication that is reported to work well but I don't remember it.

If it is a long white poop that doesn't break off, it is often an internal bacterial infection (like bloat or dropsy, as previously mentioned).

What brand of flake? I have seen the same symptoms from feeding foods that are poorly made.

i liked the brand on the bloodworms very think and fat i normally get hikari tho they hav 2 bags of bloodworms for 5 bucks cant go worng. aquarian is a cheaper version of tetra. its not a bad brand but its cheaper i tried that and my fish looked at me lik im stupid or something lol!. so i use omega 1 and bloodworms for my eel, hikari algea wafers. so it shouldnt be the food bc i tried all of those, but my fish r picky!!!
