White Fluffy Balls

[tez2k007]

This morning I noticed a few small white fluffy balls lying on my gravel. What are they and how do I get rid of them. And what is causing them. Had the tank up and running a couple of weeks. 125ltr

They could be fungus, which will eventually go on its own. Or it could be hair algae which has died and turned white.

most likely fungus growing on uneaten food.
this type of decay is bad for water quality and fish health.
