I recently got a piece of drift wood about a week ago and did the proper precautions; soaked it over night (it was prepared driftwood) and boiled it for three hours. About two days after inserting it, a white, hair like film grew over it and continues to grow and expand. It has even moved to the walls of the tank. I do daily mantinence on the tank as I am still cycling and this is what the film looks like when I wipe it off
I'm hoping it is just the harmless fungus I researched about and will go away in a few weeks. This is what it looks like in the tank
Does this happen to all new driftwood when introduced to a tank? Is there a quick and easy was to rid of it or will time just have to do it? Just for clarification, it is harmless, I suspect?
My snails graze on it, but it seems like after they graze on it they hide in their shells for extended period of times. will it make them sick?
Thank you guys~
