are you sayin is vague becuz of the gravel cleaner thingy? well...its 10.43 @ nite so...theres nothing open except wallmart but nobody's at home rite now! my dad is in colorado, my mom went out to a friends house and my brother with his friends ..... and i must say walmart is a looong way from here. maybe i could clean the tank but i first want to know what it is is some kind of cloudy-transparent like if its some kind of bacteria or somethin i really dont know how to describe it! and its mostly in one part of the tank but im sure theres all over the tank help please! if i clean it, what should be the directions? i mean i could clean like everyother day but this is rare!!!

Is it some gunk building up on your gravel? well you can use a length of garden hose to do an emergency vacume but there probably wont be a big problem, But your in Virginia you should ride a bike! but not at 10.43 sorry.

No.......I was saying it's vague because it's kind of hard to help when you leave out descriptive words Like, brown or hairy or puffy or...........

Vague means.......well.......not very descriptive is what I meant
Maybe if you put a little more information then someone may know, or be having the same problem and could help!

 

[DOLORES]

you should ride a bike!

gunk = junk, slime, mud like substance, gross stuff.

what is you main language? no wonder your description was kind of vague.

Hi DOLORES

Your English is just fine, don't worry about it at all!

Now does this stuff on the bottom look like little spots with fuzzy stuff all around them? Like a dandelion flower, perhaps? If so, it's just a piece of food that has gotten moldy. You could scoop them out with a net.

If it's anything more than that, you will need to get a gravel vac and siphon it out. Do you know how to use one of them?

 

[DOLORES]

FUZZY WAS THE WORD!!!! DANG! yeah i thought it was food just like no more than 25 minutes ago! thank you very much! im gonna give them flakes again.... that wasnt a problem this little particles are no good... they scared the crap outta me! thanx again for makin me sure of it! , adn thank you very much for about my english! and thnx opcn,buggyboutbettas and silver! now.... i want to get rid of it.... and heres the part that the siphon joins! yeah ...i dont know how to use it....cuz i aint have one, im plannin on get it when i get my other 2 tanks (finally decided to get the 2 of 'em) becuz theyre gonna be sanded, but i guess i should get it like.......tomorro
