white fluff algae

[timme278]

well its a newish tank at about 3/4 weeks,put some used filter media in but i think its cycleing anyway
its 20 gallons, 48wat hot5 lighting

its on my redmoor wood and i think the best way to describe it is white fluff algae

i have 4 male endlers, 2 cherry shrimp and 3 otos

how do i get rid of it?

Hi,
This is most likely fungus, especially if the wood is new. Just crape it off.

Cheers,

Yeh it normally goes away of its own accord, shouldn't do any harm

My shrimp normally strip the fuzz.

Hi timme2278.
Had that on my new redmoor too. Just kept scraping it off at water change. All gone in about 4-5 weeks in mine, but that was with no tank occupants at the time.
