NickD Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I have 2 plecos in other tanks that absolutely clean up algae infested tanks. I know this isn’t algae but will they eat this too and clean it up? the white stuff is now here on my new driftwood😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsquared Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No need to worry, the white fungus that is developing is totally normal for new driftwood. Typically it will go away on its own as the wood becomes saturated but I have seen snails, shrimp and fish all pick at it. It will be gone in no time 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Yeah, don’t worry, when the edible parts on the driftwood is gone so is the slime. It may take a week or so. And if you wipe it off, it’s still coming back. Until it finishes working on the wood.lots of things eat it. Not harmful at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghider Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Don’t know this from experience, but that’s biofilm, and pretty much any scavengers or opportunistic feeders (including plecos) will gladly eat it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghider Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 They’d love it, some plecos even have driftwood as part of their natural diet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
