My shrimp think that white film gunk is the shrimp version of Russian caviar. They go nuts. ✌️
leave it ! little tiny critters will eat it and your fish will eat them . also my ottos seem to like it.
Man, the first time I saw that stuff, I though I was gonna have to nuke the tank from space! It was the only way to be sure! It wasn't until later that I found out it was harmless and not long lived.
It freaks people out at first : -)
lol
I had to last week.. My shrimp and l333 where eating it like crazy.. They had eaten it all and it's never been back..
Before you brush, use airline tubing to vacuum off. 👍👍👍
Nice info. What a gorgeous tank!
Thank you!
When seeding a tank with a sponge filter that’s been in an aquarium for 5 years. If I drop that in a 30 gallon aquarium. How will I know if that was enough to seed the tank and safe for fish?
That would work well. Just stock the tank lightly at first.
After aquascaping I went three rounds with this biofilm I trashed the wood. My spider drift wood also changed color one other method I boiled it then baked it. In the end all in the trash.
That's too bad. Ours has eventually settled in.
Beautiful aquasçape. Goldfish are underrated these days and people try to shoehorn them into too small tanks inside. A pool or tub outside with goldfish gives much enjoyment with little expenditure of energy as long as you're not afflicted with trash pandas (raccoons).
oh thank goodness you have this video, I was hoping for this T-T
I just suck it out with a siphon, then add a platy to the tank to take care of what's left. Platys don't get the recognition they deserve for being great tank cleaners.
Thanks! I was just about to go searching in the aquarium forums to find out this exact thing.
Beautiful tanks!
Thanks for the information
who is Anette ?
One of the best fish keeping/info channels on RUclips! PERIOD… no lies no cults just pure GOLD knowledge!!
Thanks for being here!
Mystery snails will take care of that. ❤❤
Yes!
Last November I set up a new 55g and after it was cycled, the white fungus began growing all over the driftwood. Later, I added a small group of mollies and they picked it clean.
They will definitely do that! : -)
Omg I had this so bad it looked like my wood was taken over by aliens. Mine however did come back and it seemed to be with a vengeance. It did finally go away a little at a time. But since it was my first aquarium it was so frustrating and I couldn’t find anyone who knew what it was. Any how I’m glad you did this video. New comers will appreciate it.
It can be scary at first!
I never had this with my wood when i had it in but i did soak it for such a while & kept treating it with Alum powder but like you mentioned it's white fungus & shrimp adore the stuff.
@primetimeaquatics can you share what you used as substrate? Love your tank!
That is Red Flint sand.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics do you have a link or manufacturer name? Is it sold as aquarium substrate or something you find in a hardware store?
Mine came back.
Beautiful tanks thanks for the info 👍👍
My nerite snail loves the stuff.
For sure!
Yeah I was gonna say, I had a piece of driftwood absolutely covered in biofilm, added one nerite snail, it all disappeared practically overnight.
Dealing with this now. Thanks for the information.
I have had this stuff absolutely ruin a 12-gallon ⁰tank. It started on one large piece of wood, got to be about an inch thick, then started moving across and attaching to the rocks. I scrubbed and scraped repeatedly, but it kept returning just as bad as before. I loved that scape so much, but I eventually broke it down and soaked the wood for about a month in a bleach solution (then soaked another month in plain water to be sure all bleach was gone). I rebuilt the scape as best as I could remember, but that film came back again just as bad as before. I eventually chucked that beautiful piece of wood, built an inferior scape, and all film problems disappeared. Luckily, as you said, my fish never suffered at all from this -- although they may have been embarrassed by their poorly scaped home.
Ive had some on a piece of driftwood for months. Keeps growing back. 🤷🏻♂️
Put a platy or Mollie in there. They won't let it come back
