- I have been keeping aquariums for several years now, and I have never
- had this problem before. Maybe because I am mostly keeping brackish
- tanks.
- Well, my freshwater tank has some white stuff growing on the surface.
- I did a couple extra water changes, and removed all that I could, buy
- it keeps coming back. The fish seem to be fine, but they don't like the
- taste of the white stuff. They will not eat any food that is coated with
- it. This white stuff looks like white dots, with a white film surrounding
- it.
- Any Ideas about what this stuff is and how to get rid of it. I am thinking
- of moving all the fish out, and completely redoing the tank.
