Habitat - Indoor :: Furry white stuff

[Safdar]

I was about to clean Tito's tank today
and i saw a whole bunch of furry white stuff attched to the filter pipe and floating in the water and on plastic?plants.

It was in the bio filter in the filter too

Its floating everwhere in the tank

Looks like little little bits of cotton candy
and hair

What is that?

[untsmurf]

I'm not positive but it sounds like some sort of fungus. Wait for someone more experienced to answer though.

[urbancleopatra]

yeah a mildew or fungus

[Safdar]

how did that get in there

will it harm tito

[Safdar]

What do i do?

[Tenodera]

Its hard to say for sure...Have you tried googling "aquarium white cotton stuff"?

[Safdar]

They have all differnt things

For sick fish

It grew all over my filter cartrighes

and on rocks

Have you tested your water?

[Safdar]

No..

A picture would probably be more helpful. And you should test your water every now and then too.

[Safdar]

i already cleaned the tank and stuff ....

[xsavingsaturdayx]

Well if it comes back then snap a picture.

[Safdar]

its there dude
but its very little

So it wont show up in the pic

[untsmurf]

Well until you can get a pic, get a sample of your water and get it tested. Whatever is growing in your tank might be harmful to tito.

I got some pics
But since the bottom is white it didnt show up as well
you can still see it though
