Taylor Blake Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 This is in my 125 aquarium growing on the wood. things that live in there right now are tinfoil barbs two female guppies and a tadpole madtom catfish and snails. It looks like a sponge or bacteria colony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarina Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Looks like freshwater sponge! A very rare occurance in aquariums. It's and indication of an incredibly healthy and stable environment 😊 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoNano Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Not an expert, but it looks similar to pictures of Bryozoan colonies that I've seen. I've never seen an actual one "in the wild" though. Edit- Also not sure if Bryozoan colonies are or are not considered "sponges" formally or informally. Exciting to see!

Taylor Blake Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 This is going to be my sunfish tank. I'm trying to get the Lilly pads to grow in before I add any big fish that will make a mess of the tank. it has been up and running for about 4 months with no big changes in that timeouts feeding and a few top offs. @Cory I think this is a pretty good example of what seasoned tank time is.
