Quick health question - I think

[BettaGal]

Is my sand losing color here, or do I have a Cory cat with parasites? I did not see them do this. It is in their litter box. The only Cory cat that even looks like anything could be wrong tore off a section of his tail. Dracula is acting fine without that little part. It is positively not fin rot. The dwarf gourami hit his nose in transit but that has been clearing up nicely. Other than that, no apparent issues.

Are you talking about the stuff on your substrate? Looks like dissolved algae wafer to me.

 

[BettaGal]

Yes, the white stuff on the substrate. I just vacuumed it all last night and have not added another wafer. It shouldn't be algae wafer, but then again, my fish are crazy.

Lol. That's my Dracula. I hate parasites. Nasty little buggers get in there and cause all kinds of trouble.

Could it be snail eggs?

If incas lay eggs on the substrate. Only one of my two nerites lay them, and she sticks them to the wall.
