There are tiny little white fuzzballs at the bottom of my tank, just sitting on the surface of the substrate. I'm assuming this is leftover food that the fish didn't eat. If you guys know anything else about these fuzzballs and I am wrong, please inform me so I can take immediate action. Thank you.
 
You're right - it is leftover food gone moldy.
Cutting back a bit on the feeding, plus a light gravel vac once a week will get rid of it.
