Slime coat on my tank

[foofoo1237]

So i added 2 black Kuhlie loaches to my tank and today while doing a water change i noticed that something on the glass and rocks moved. Soon i noticed it was a slime like thing because it had debris stuck on it and felt like slime. Is this from my loaches? or what? and do i need to worry about it?

I know for sure that it's not from your Kuhlis, although I don't know what it is. Do you have any snails??

 

[foofoo1237]

nope. is it some sort of algae growth?

 

[Kiara1125]

Maybe microscopic algae. I know Otos love that stuff.

Hello; Wild guess #1; If you overfeed and have no snails it may be a product of the breakdown of the excesss food. Siphon out the stuff.

and pray that its not some cyanobacteria, its not white though, green, although does grow as a film coat before it goes crazy, may appear white on some things.
