Tetra with massive poop

Was passing the tank and noticed a tetra with what looked a bit like a dried mealworm hanging out of its bum. It dropped off like a normal poop and I siphoned it straight out but should I be worried?

Depends on the food i guess, if they eat more vegetable matter they get larger poops ( seeing they tend not to digest plant fiber very well).
White and slimy is bad.
I have had 18 of them in there for about two years and this is several times bigger than anything I have noticed before.
 
It could be constipation, in which case feeding dried daphnia for a few days should help.
