	Fungus in tank??
Lawnboy41 Fingerling Posts: 32 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Mar-2005	I noticed fungus looking stuff on the bottom sides of my fake plants ](i am guessing b/c its away from the light). I took the plants out to clean them and I think a lot of the stuff got into the water. Should I treat the tank for fungus or should I wait to see if the fish have any fungus symptoms. Or should I do a big water change? Tank is 12 gallons, 7 fish (3 mollies, 2 guppies, 2 danios). Thanks Jamie

Does it look like little fuzzy balls? Sounds a bit like rotting food.
