I've had plecos before and none of them excreted as much as the one I have now. He eats, swims, and chases my mbuna around just fine, but his poop is quite stringy and very long. It has some sections that are dark, followed by a clearish thread. Does my pleco have a parasite? Or is the food a problem? I feed my cichlids Omega One Natural Protein Formula and my pleco happily eats up any that is left. I feed him algea pellets and they all get frozen peas/zuchinni 1-2 times a week. Help?

Here is a photo of the poop.

That's how mine poops. They are pooping machines. You might have not noticed it before but I think that's what it can look like.
