Chrisdis Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Saw this in my tank this morning. It wasn't attached to anything and when I tried to pick it up with tongs it just fell apart. Very delicate. I ended up vacuuming it out. All of my water parameters are good. I did a water change last night and it was there when I woke up.

What confused me was it was just swaying on the substrate but not attached to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 any new wood, or did you use a water clarifier after the water change? ive had that before. in my case, new tank, new wood with the normal fungal bloom on it, and a little water clarifier, and poof white jello like fungus in the tank. doesnt hurt anything other than your ego, and to remove, scoop it out with a net.

Nothing new in the tank for about 8 months now. I vacuumed it out and haven't seen any more. I was just curious to see if someone might have seen this before. Co2 and easy green is the only thing I put in. Besides the prime conditioner when I do my weekly water change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleMichelle Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It looks like a melted root tab capsule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the capsules are green. Have you seen this before? It was about 3 times the size of a root tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celly Rasbora Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 They swell and lose the green color. I put some in my tank last night and am trying to keep this round buried. I don’t have deep substrate so it’s a challenge. I use rocks to cover them. Just used up my supply and need to buy more. Will get the bigger size this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsules are generally made from gelatin..It happened to me just this week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
