Help Newbie Fungus on drift wood !!!!

[Bonesaqua]

Hi,

This is my first planted tank experience. I have a drift wood in my tank but it seems to be having some molds. I have been trying to scrape it and do water change, but this keeps coming back after a few days, its been about two months now I guess. Still no sight of it going away.

What is this? What should I do? I still have no fish in my tank. Can I add some fish whihc could eat this? I wanted to get my driftwood planted, would that help? I started this tank on dry start, and I am happy with the plant growth(only have one, I want to get the driftwood planted too)

Please help.

Regards,
B

Fluffy stuf? Will go away with time, altough two months is longish. Just keep removing it.
Where is your wood from? How did you prepare it if anyway?

I got this from an aquarium shop. Since it was big I couldn't boil it, But I kept it submerged for over a month, never saw the mold any time then. Used to keep it out in the Dubai sun and it was really hot.

ubai sun and it was really hot.

Probably dried to a crisp, just patience then i believe

I had worse on my driftwood after I flooded, when tank was cycled in went the Amanos few weeks later all mould gone, never seen it again. Did put a lot of Amanos in, got them at a great price as Local Fish shop had them miss labeled.

Apple snails will eat it but they are wanderers and could end up on your flooring/carpet!...
