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?

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

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

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.
