It seems that my has along strand of pink poop?? I dont know what it is, but im worried.

I think it is a Platty fish. I just got 4 of them yesterday. But im very scared about the poop.

those platy's look good from what i can see.

the simple answer: the store probably fed them something pink. since it's new, its probably still getting acclomated. it'll probably be ok. i have fish do this all the time when i first get them. i guess getting put in a new tank just scares the crap out of them.

Oh thank you!! I was worried because I had 3 fish before (they're dead now) and they never ever pooped. Thanks so much for your advice!

Its very common for Platys. I would not worry about it.

That looks like a little bit of overfeeding to me.
