My Gold Platy

My gold platy is like pooping a black poop string ...or watever u call it......is this normal

Stringy poop can be a sign of a few things.. constipation or a bacterial infection .
If the fish is eating OK and there is no other symptoms I would just keep an eye on it... but if the stringy poop continues over a few days and the fish seem *not itself* I would treat for a bacterial infection to be on the safe side. As these can kill very quickly without few outward symptoms.

Have you had any new additions to your tank? plants? fish ? etc.. as bugs can come in with these and quickly passed to your other fish.
Do they eat alot of protein based foods..i.e. live foods or frozen or dried live foods this can cause constipation.

Hope this helps and the stringy poop becomes stringless very soon
