I had a similar issue with $ conda install -c bioconda cooltools  
One issue may be that your python version is not compatible.  
If you can find the correct python version you would need to create a conda environment with that version: $ conda create -n ENV\_NAME python=VERSION  
I used $ conda install --no-channel-priority -c bioconda cooltools  
and it told me the correct version of python to install, so you might try  
$ conda install --no-channel-priority -c fastx\_toolkit  
Otherwise, try mamba. Go to your base environment and run $ conda install mamba  
Then enter your desired environment and run $ mamba install --no-channel-priority -c bioconda fastx\_toolkit
