One of my mollies, i noticed had almost like.. about an inch long strand of transparent poo.. Is this bad? Is it a sign of some sort of infection?
 
This canbe a symptom of constipation. Try feeding peas--frozen work well, just squish them out of the tough outer shell and feed. Do you feed a high protien diet? If so, start cutting back the meaty foods and adding vegetable matter--herbivores tend to become constipated on too much protien.
 
i feed them tetramin and daphnia. ill cut back on the daphnia.. Is tetramin high in protein? If not, whats a good low-protein food?

Spiraluna flakes are almost all veggie matter. You might give them a try.
