I have no idea what is growing in your tank, LOL. But I bet one of our other members will.

I've been looking for a reason to get another mystery snail. Rather than getting some hitchhikers, could a mystery help? I have 1 in my 29g and love her/him/it. I frequently feed zukes, algea wafers & greens to keep it/him/her happy so doing this in the quarantine tank is no problem. I also have 2 nirites but they are such introverts I never see them! while my mystery is out and about all the time. So would prefer a mystery if this is the kind of yuck they like to eat.Pond snails and bladder snails will eat that up and won't require any additional food unless you get too many. Nerite snails will also eat that but they might starve if you're not adding some veggies for them.
Great idea! Thanks! I'm always looking for a reason to get more fish stuffInstead of adding fish food to keep it cycled. Buy the same size filter that you use on your other tank. When you need to quarantine a new fish. Just take the old filter from another tank and drop it in. Then you'll have an instantly cycled filter ready to handle the bio load of a new fish. Plus you won't have to deal with maintaining an empty tank. Throw it into storage until you need it next time.
