I do not know which category to post this in, so moderators please move it if necessary.
I was out of town for the past few days over the 4th of July. Hubby stayed home and took care of all of our critters and my fishies....
When I got home (I had noticed a small amount of this before leaving though) I had this strange gelatin like spots inside my tank walls in different places. It was not all over the sides just here and there. When I went to do a pwc I felt it and it felt gelatin/slimy like. I don't know how else to describe it, but it is in patches throughout my newly cycled 10g tank. My betta and cories seem to be fine. What could this stuff be and is it dangerous...(fungus, etc). Could it be coming from the dag gone pond snails? They are going nuts in there. I keep taking out a bunch each time I do a pwc. In the middle of the slimey stuff there appear to be little dots.....geez...any help would be appreciated. The slime/gelatin is clear in color and sometimes when wiped off of the side it is solid and other times it just disperses into the tank. Any ideas? Also, on a side note....for some reason my hubby decided to raise the blind behind the tank while I was gone. I NEVER do this and didn't ask him to do it, but leave it closed.....could the light coming from outside made this stuff grow faster?
