Is the fish eating normally?
How long has it had stringy white poop?
Is it swimming around normally?
How long has it been acting unwell?

If a fish gets fat overnight, does a stringy white poop and stops eating, it has an internal bacterial infection and the fish usually dies within 24-48 hours of showing these symptoms. There's no cure and the fish get euthanised.

Yeah i saw your link and another post from you.

The poop was there for a while, at least over an hour. But it has lost it now and moved from the spot.

Still hanging at the top in a different place. Didnt come over for food.

All others act normal.

Edit:

It moves some more now. Seems better than before. Yesterday she was at that spot from this morning. But now she moved around a bit at the front of the tank. Not as close to the top as before.

Her belly seems kinda fatter? Not sure. These always have a bit more fat there.
