White poo

[Pleco11771]

So I have 2 platys, one I just recently got and the other for about 3-4 months. So I noticed that the new one is pooing white but more of a cream color and is acting fine, the older one was attacked ad had it's fins ripped and was not doing so well and is now pooing bright white. I really hope it's not parisites because I have cories and a baby pleco and I've heard mess can be hard on them

What are you feeding them?

What are you feeding them?

Aqueon color enhancing tropical flakes that are a reddish brown color

I use tetramin tropical fish flakes. I think the poo is white because of the diet.

Even of the new platy has only been in the tank for a few days? And normally their poo is the color of the food?

Yeah I don't know. Unless they have any strange behaviors?

No not at all but I have read this could mean parisites?

Maybe I don't know what to do about that. Google it?
