FishyGirl Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 My drift wood I put it my tank is looking sort of weird. It looks like there is white foamy stuff around it but it’s very clear. Anyone know what’s going on or what I should do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Definitely the fuzzy fuzz we just call biofilm. You can use a toothbrush and gently knock all of that stuff off. You can also just stick it in a bucket and do it in the yard. Some types of wood are more prone to this. Entirely safe, just unsightly. It's either a bacteria or something growing on the wood as it acclimates to being underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Snails and shrimp snack on it. Also if it doesn’t bother you, you don’t have to do anything really. Just let it be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Biofilm, perfectly normal to occur after being added to a tank. Any critters in the tank, fish, snails, shrimp will enjoy cleaning it off of the wood for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
