lmhicks101 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) What is this white filmy stuff and this white puffy stuff and is it okay for my fish? I’m in the middle of cycling with fish in. I just added seachem stability yesterday and today. I’ve been trying regular cycling before but nothing. The tanks heavily planted and has fluvial stratum. HOB filter and sponge filter. This has been building up for a few days. I did try food in cycling and it took forever to rot and finally had to suck it all out. As well as with the stability I’m on day 2 of broad medicating with the trio from co-op. 29 gallon with 19 cardinals and 1 betta. water ammonia - 1 ph - 6.6 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 5-10 gh - 6-7 kh - 2 Edited October 11, 2021 by lmhicks101 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) The white stuff is more than likely biofilm and is normal in a cycle and safe for fish. Snails like to eat it. You can also get what they call bacterial bloom during the cycling stage. There are some good youtube videos about this sort of thing.
