Yes apparently it can if the problem dosnt get to bad and the fish settles quickly. If the stress continues or its been going on for a while it can need treatment. My male ram was eating fine and acting normal it may have gone on its own but for peace of mind and to stop the discus getting it i used octozin. Ye watch my discus poo on a daily bases

I suspect my fish probably had the problem from the shop I got them from and then once theyd settled it and were less stressed it cured itself. I'll make sure to keep an eye out though just in case and get that med if it happens again. Haha see Resa and Steve, it's not just me! I can imagine with fish as lovely as yours it's really important to look out for any signs of trouble and catch them early

Ye i think its more of a problem with more sensetive fish. Rams can definetly be that. Ye with discus you have to catch any thing early. If you dont its quite often too late. I keep octozin on hand now and use fluke solve once a month just cause its easier than waiting for the symptoms showing.

I've seen creamy white poo with my female albino convict, but since feeding the dried bloodworm at suppertime it seems to have cleared.  Strangely though, my male firemouth is a bit deranged, he eats the poo the albino convict drops.  Not sure if this is normal or not, since in a lot of animals it is normal, I assumed it might be because there were nutrients left in the poo.  Oddly, I've never seen the firemouth poo, I must make the effort to be more observant, I seem to be slacking.   :)
