Spores?

[Tropical sunset]

these weird like spore/egg things have appeared all around my tank...what the heck are they?

i have 18 fish 64 litre tank:
1 guppy (6 guppy babies)
4 peppered corrys
2 glass fish
3 glass catfish
2 red robin gouramies
2 bumblebee fish
1 red platty
2 steal blue killi fish
2 sunset platys
2 brittlenosed plecos
1 shrimp (1possible baby)
and snails

The tank is settled.
I only have one tank and it's in my room.
who or what is causing these spore like things? is it fungi because it looks an awefull lot like sucker eggs. I have already wiped a couple off with the magnet cleaner but there are loads and they don't seem to be destroyable as when i knock them off they float around....HELP

Hi there

Can you give us a bit more info on the 'spores'? size, shape, colour...they could be eggs; either from the Bristlenose or the snails.
Don't suppose you'd be able to get a pic of them up, would you?

size is around 2 grains of salt. look like cups stuck to the side of the glass...erm colour pale white/creamy NOT in a jelly
from the front (inside the tank) each individual cup looks like a soft jelly
from back (from outisde tank glass) they look almost empty...

can't get pic camera too crappy and it wouldn't pick them out, plus i got rid of all at front of tank and camera can't get round the back

lmao...describe brittlenose and snail eggs to me then?

 

[the biffster]

do they have a jelly around them
or are they just without in singles
or multiples they might be cory eggs

I see your tanks still overstocked.

They could be snail eggs.

 

[Tropical sunset]

erm they are NOT in jelly and are in singles but they are in clusters...

EDIT: i know it overstocked but hey several fish have gone trust me it a lot better than what it used to be at 26

What are your present water stats?

 

[Tropical sunset]

no idea why?

 

[fluttermoth]

Your bristlenoses (and probably some of the others) will make short work of those.

That's why people who breed fish do it in separate tanks

 

[Tropical sunset]

phewf!

So we can all nag you about water changes and over-stocking, I expect

Can you really not try and re-home a few of those fish?
