Hey everyone! I'm currently treating my betta with Maracyn Two. last night I put in the first dose and this morning this LARGE outbreak of white fuzzy mold looking stuff I'm guessing a type of fungus that I've never had engulfed my live plants and wood decor O_O I took out the wood decors and scrubbed the stuff off in hot water then let it sit in a bucket of conditioned water before placing it back in the tank. I had to throw out one of my plants which was completely dead from this outbreak completely covered in this stuff and now my see my water wisteria is also dead and covered in this fuzz
I'm not sure how long this stuff had been growing or if it was caused by the meds but I just noticed it today. could this have caused my fish's sickness?
my tank has only been cycling for 2 almost 3 weeks now params were at 0 last I checked and PH 7.6
He hasn't been eating and I've been trying my best to take out uneaten food but it falls apart and I can't get it all and since Im currently treating him I cant do a water change (I did one last night before starting treatment) I know uneaten food can cause bacterial outbreaks but I don't think they're is to much in there and I did a 50% water change yesterday before starting the treatment taking out anything that could of built up.
my question is does anyone know what this is? is it harmful? should I throw out anything covered in it? and how to get rid of it and to prevent it?
he's swimming around a little more since treatment began which is good still isn't eating and still has pop-eye and stuff but I'm afraid of this bacteria making his bacterial infections worse while I'm trying my best with these meds to cure him cause he's been nibbling at it...he's been eating plant roots, his poop, and fungus but when I offer him his pellets he refuses them...
