Vervo Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hello, A few of our fish have some white fluff on them. On some it dangles behind them like a spider web. What could this be? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 A picture would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I dont have a camera that would be able to show it unfortunately, its to small. Its like a single line of very very fine spider web type substance with white fungus looking stuff in the "web" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 When a fish is irritated by poor, incorrect, or toxic, water conditions it may produce excess body slime in an attempt to protect itself. This sloughs off the fish in bits and pieces and can trail along as the fish swims. Is it coming from all over the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 try a water change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Its just hanging off the the fins. I do 2x 35% water changes every day. Dont think water quality would be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Are there any red streaks on the fins? I am wondering about fin rot. Without a pic it is really hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Is it only affecting one specific species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
