platy poop question

[cougargirl50]

I was just down at my aquarium looking at my fish and I happen to take notice that the poop on my one platy is clear they look like connected bubbles, i know this is going to sound stupid but is this normal or what does it come from.
I think I read something about this before but i'm not sure, could it be some kind of internal parasite or something?
If it is what do I do to treat her and can I treat with the other fish in the tank also, cause I really don't have anything else that I can put her in.
Depending on what it is and there is something I cant treat them with would it be good to treat the others just in case they may have it, I'm starting to have the platys popping out baby's a good bit now and I don't want them to have it.

Can someone please help??

Clear or white poop usually indicates some sort of internal parasite. These sort of things are pretty common. Fortunetely since you caught it early, it's treated pretty easily - JungleLabs makes medicated internal parasite food. Use as directed. There are a number of other meds and treatments, but this seems like the most effective.

Also fresh crushed garlic would work very well for your fish, feed it them for about a week and that should clear up any internal parasites.
