I noticed this morning that my aquarium filter had these fuzzy white egg bunch looking things sucked up to it; they are very small. I have a fairly newly set up freshwater aquarium stocked with live plants and some neon tetras, zebra dannios, and guppies to cycle as well as some ghost shrimp and two platys. My boyfriend thinks its from the plants but I havent had much look looking into what this may be. Any clue as to what this is?
Yeah, it’s been a few days since Ive cleaned since Im trying to get through the initial cycling I dont want to remove too much bacteria even though I have a bio filter. I think the food is probably the best guess since just the other day the bf thought he was being helpful and fed them just shortly after I did and Im sure most of it just sat on the bottom.
it definitely doesnt look like snail eggs and I thoroughly cleaned my tank before setup. I think the old food is most likely the cause although I cant imagine it would grow fungus within two/three days but Ill definitely be doing a cleaning tomorrow and ive reminded the bf not to feed them unless he asks me first haha
