About a week ago I put 3 new swordtails into my tank. I've been noticing recently that they often have poop that comes out white and I'm just not sure if it's something I should worry about. I'm trying to keep an eye on them and as near as I can tell they also have brown that comes out but white on occasion too. I'm going to stop putting in the sinking shrimp pellets for a few days to see if that helps because they're white and I think the swordtails might get into those more than the other fish, just wondering if there's anything I should watch out for. They all come out and eat when I feed them and for the most part they seem normal. The male hides under a log alot of the time but not in a way that makes him look sick, just shy. All 3 of them are known to hang out in one position sitting still but I assumed that was just normal behavior unlike the danios who are constantly moving. Any input would be great.
 
it might be a parasite,im dealing with the same prob now.everywhere i read says white poo=parasite.i have lost many fish to this recently and have tried everything so im sorry i dont have any advice just a warning,all your fish will get it
