White jellyfish-like stuff on the tank wall?????

[kswong34]

Hi All!! :)

I have this problem with my tank.. There is always some jelly-fish like stuffs that stick on the tank walls... After I rub them off, they will appear again after few days, even after I did a water change!!! :cry:

They are all around the tank walls..... :evil:

Anyone could help!!!

have you got a pic?

[kswong34]

I had just rub them off an hour ago.

[goldenpigeon]

put half a dozen bristle-noses in and see if there is a difference

[kswong34]

I have 6 corydoras and two algae eater in there at this moment. But I don't think they will eat it even the bristlenose.

Any other suggestion such as temperature, filter etc...

My is currently around 28C and using a cannister filter.

Using any Lights :?:

[kswong34]

Yes. But is not an aquarium light. there are two hanging lamp with energy saving bulb with 11W each.

Might need a photo mate, havent heard of anythng like this before...

Is it a spawning tank?? Could be left overs from the male fertilising :wink: :lol: ........nice thought since you rubbed your hands through it. :shock:

I have had some experience with a similar "substance"

It is either just another of those strange algeas that won't hurt anything and will dissapear in time.

OR

It is bacterial in nature, but not harmful.
Generally as a result of something in the light spectrum breaking down or being a bulb type that is not normally used.

If your using "standard" indoor lighting sometimes that type of lighting generates wierd spectrums and you get "wierd" stuff in yer tanks.
Nothing to be overly concerned about.

How old are the bulbs that you have?

Could just be a breakdown in spectrum and that particular critter is eating it up.

[mistakes r crucial]

Snail eggs if you have snails in ur tank.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the input.... :D

Attached are the photos of the tank. But don't have the white jelly-like stuffs yet. Added an UV-light to the system this morning and see whether will help.

To flukes: no, it is not a spawning tank, the largest discus is only about 8-9cm.

To mistakes r crucial: no snail in the tank.

Will post again with the photo if the white stuffs appears again.

Thanks gain :D

Nice looking set up. You've made a lovely job of fitting the tank in.

I tend to agree with Fishpimpin that it is just some sort of algae. Nothing to worry about, and will go in time.
