Film On Top Of Water

[Mikaila31]

i think some powder that was suppose to help cycle the tank caused it. The fish in the tank seems fine, but i'm worried that the live plants in the tank won't get enough light. It's been there for a couple days now and i've just been taking a cup and scooping up as much of it as i can but it keeps comming back . what would be the best way to get rid of it?

I have seen a similar thing in my bettas tanks before. I think it is caused by some water dechlorinators. the only thing I could think of would be to remove water from the top, or you can try to lower your water level a little, which would cause the filter to stir it up a little more.

I think it's caused by still water. Put in an airstone or find some other way to cause surface agitation. It is kind of white right?
