:nilly: My dad's dwarf gourami is unusually fat and has long white stringy poo. I think he might have parasites. How can I help him!

there is still hope though Audi wish you luck.
White stringy poo seems to typically be a symptom of some kind of intestinal parasite. There are drugs available for it. I would recommend moving to a QT for treatment, to prevent any adverse effects on the rest of the tank.
If it's simply constipation related bloat, which is unlikely due to the visible presence of fecal matter at all, blanch and shell some peas, and then, obviously, feed them to the fish.

What's the normal diet? Any other symptoms? How long has your dad had the fish? Last introduction?
If this is a new fish...and it wasn't quarantined...odds are pretty good everything in the tank with it will need to be treated.

Try soaking the fish's food in onion water ( put some onions in water and stir it up a bit= onion water)
