White stringy poo usually means parasites.
What do you feed him, for feeding mealworms can allso cause whiye poo.
here's an old thread , and Jenni explains what she did to cure the problem.

Have you tested your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates and PH?

Yes, white stringy faeces can be an indication other parasitic infestation. Is the fish breathing heavily at all? Also, what have you been feeding your fish?
