Will C Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Picking the hive mind here. My first planted tank, three days old. my scarlet temple from the co-op is growing some white fuzz. Is this melt or are the stems rotting and should be removed? they came in pretty sparse on leaves but looked pretty healthy to me other wise. Figured it was due to transit in winter and acclimation. But today they grew a fuz. any advice for a novice would help. thank you all 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan F Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Not and expert but it looks like the fungus that frequently grows on driftwood. It should dissipate after a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will C Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 The spiderwood in the tank has a few spots of fuzzy stuff too. I was expecting it to happen on the wood but didn’t know if that was normal on the stems. If its something abnormal I didn’t want it to spread to the other plants. thank you for the insite 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will C Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 I emailed the co-op and they got back to me in less than a half hour. told me to pull it and gave a refund. I might be new to the hobby but I can recognize good customer support and knowledgeable staff. Sending a thank you out to Candi for helping a first timer!
