Male DP and a bubblenest

Post by LittlePuff »

Do I have a weird puffer? He's been doing it for quite a while. It looks just like a bettas' bubblenest. He's the only fish in the tank. :shock:

Buildup of organic film on the water surface?

Lay a piece of clean paper on the surface and lift it off.

Is the tank planted? If not you may need more sutface movement.

If planted, try larger water partials to decrease the organic load.

Not enough surface movement. That's it. The filter is a Whisper 10i. Thanks!
