yeah, I'm just going to have to take all the fake plants out of the tank and check each leaf and scrub them off with a toothbrush(it works better than anything else to me), along with the wood and java fern. The wood has been in there since the tank was set up like 3 years ago so I don't think it is from the wood.fugu99 wrote:Oh Hadla I posted to Srkoe about the blob stuff because she brought it up and I thought I was replying to you XD but it seems she is having the same problem heres what I said to her thinking I was replying to your blobs that are all over your decor... Srkoe said she had the stuff growing on wood in her tank, I dont know if you have any wood in your tank however. I wonder if theres anything else in your tank that could make this stuff grow?
"Hmm that makes me wonder if maybe the circulation in the tank is blowing the stuff off your wood onto the other decor in the tank. My fiance read somewhere that the snot stuff is actually partly a fungus and partly sugar extracted from the sap in the wood. This MAY be your cause. I can only suggest, if thats the case, to scrub the wood off with just a plain sponge or cloth and water, and keep doing this until it goes away. Unless you would prefer to try to clean it in the tank, but Ive noticed that the stuff breaks up really easily and turns into tiny scraps of... snot... that are impossible to catch unless you can get them to the filter tube. But keep wiping it out, you dont want your fish to eat it. I think it might have been the cause of death of one of my baby mollies. They were all trying to eat that stuff... it was really disgusting. I hope you get it under control because I know how awful looking it is."

Never trust big puffers. The fingers you save may be your own. -RTR
