Fungus on Driftwood

[MATESkid2016]

Hi guys I woke up this morning with this translucent fungus growing on my Mopani driftwood... Is this normal? Will it go away with time?

It's normal and harmless and will go away eventually on its own. You can scrap it off yourself too or maybe boil the wood a bit more but I wouldn't worry tremendously about it.

Okay thank you!

 

[jgh]

Yep, it's normal. It's also annoying.

I added a siamese flying fox and he cleared the lot absolutely adore him keeps my tank very tidy

Cool good to know for the future.... Would an otocinclus do the same?

Oto's don't eat fungus. You can also remove the wood wash it off with water and pour hydrogen peroxide all over it. Let it sit 20 minutes and put back in the tank. Often times it won't come back after doing this.
