Any ideas?

Hi,

Can anyone give me any ideas what could be causing a white 'mucus' substance to form mainly on my gravel but also a little on my bogwood?

Tank has almost finished cycling with a little Nitrite still around. There are 5 Leopard danios and 4 Pearl danios in there along with 2 plecs. The mucus has just started forming over the past couple of days but doesn't seem to affect anyone in the tank.

Suggestions please

I've just finished my tank cycle, although mine was fishless. I also have this disgusting slime, all over my plants, castles and bogwood. My sister assures me my plec will clear it up. Hers did, apparently.

Yup, I had the same when I cycled. Don't know what it is, but my plec cleared it up a treat. I have the cleanest bogwood you've ever seen now!!!!

Now that you all mention it, both my plecs have had a nibble at it and not seems bothered. Oh well, i'll leave it and see what happens

Thanks for the replies.
