Yeah, sorry about the faecal discussion here, but I have 3 platys - 2
fairly big and one baby one who's growing up quite nicely.... they all
seem really happy and happily gobble up the tropical fish flakes I give
them (only one per fish of course), but almost invariably they then
spend
a good ten minutes each trying to rid their sphincter (ouch) of a big
stringy grey length of poo, like a tail, looking very uncomfortable in
the
process.

Only one flake per fish? I feed my platys as much as they can eat at least
twice a day. I feed them a variety of flakes, small pellets and frozen
fishfoods from the pet shop. Your fishes feces don't sound normal...

Is this healthy? They seem very happy 24/7, but I'd hate to think that
my
decision to feed only flakes was causing them pain or discomfort when it
comes to poop time... should I be feeding them lettuce and peas more
often, or occasionally a live or frozen treat food (if so, what kind?).

Feed them a large variety of foods for the best results. Mine don't eat
lettuce or peas. They like the frozen foods the best.

All I know is that if it was ME in there, it'd be f'n sore. Constipation
is no laughing matter!
