Help! Think My Tank Is Infected

[kris6458]

I'll try to be as descriptive as I can bc my cammera wouldnt capture these tiny spore like things. All over the inside of the glass are these Filmy clear color germ size spore looking things. -(=) they are connected to the glass by a - and then the (=) is moving with the water. If i had to relate what it looked like id say a creamy clear tulip head is the (=) Again its sooooo tiny I couldnt even capture with a nice cammera. Sorry about how hard im making this for you all. The tank is only a month old. Water has been cycling for about a month and added live plants about 8-9 days ago. There was a fidler crab in there for about a week to help cycle it. All the river rocks and driftwood piece i bought were boiled. Any help would be appreciated. I was about to add fish, until i saw this yesterday

aye I'd say it was algae, happens all the time =] dont worry just wipe it off!

I looked up pictures and descriptions of different types of algae and didnt see anything that looks similar. Someone was saying it could be snail eggs or a parasite that came on my live plants i bought

is there lots of it? does it look like little round balls? gooey? or does it look like lots of little specks almost furry?

Ya its all over. I scrubed all my glass and brushed my plants, but theres still some on plants. I also did another 20% water change with new filter and vacumed sand. Going to add some fish today so hopefully its nothing to worry about. They guy at the LFS said it was probably some tiny parasite that was riding in on the plants. But then again, i never really trust what the LFS workers have to say.
