I woke up this morning to a strange-looking white webbed stuff stuck to the glass. I have tried google search and it looks like some sort of slime mold? It appeared overnight, and I am not sure what to do. There is not a lot of information out there, I am hoping someone has seen this and knows what to do. Our tank has been maintained and is cycled since setting it up in early November, and seems like a happy tank. We have a fairly new eheim classic filter and lighting for plants, live plants and Malaysian wood since the beginning...this is new and weird, I am alarmed.

Wow...... I've been in this hobby for 30+ years and I have NEVER encountered slime mould in any of my tanks. Very intriguing!

Best regards,

I just did a partial water change and got rid of it...it is kind of beautiful-looking, I just don't want it growing in the tank!

I JUST watched a short video about slime mould! Its SUPER cool!
I'm glad you managed to get rid of it, but you're also kinda lucky you got to see it

Thanks for the interesting video, I just watched it I have noticed lately that it has come back in smaller form, and it moves around the tank...weird stuff! I feel like I have a strange sort of pet in the tank...

Any idea where it came from? Something hibernating in the wood that suddenly sprung to life?

I have no idea...
