It's a freshwater tank, 25 gal, and has 7 fish in it.I know it's not rotten food.it kinda looks like snot..disgusting I know.any idea what it is?

Answers:

I believe it is called ick or ick disease , there are treatments you can add to the water but they don't always work . Ask someone about this that specializes in fish. Good Luck!

Hi, ive had the same thing from some of my fish, it may be eggs with a protective mucous membrane around them, im in the southern hemisphere and its all out fish sex in the tank at the moment.

You could also test the water levels for PH and nitrites and Nitrates or take a sample to the local fish shop and see what they have to say..Cate.

That white stuff could be an egg nest so give it another two weeks to see whats going on..ok

If it is little and round than it is compleatly digested food (poop). The same thing hapens to my fish. You got rid of it by cleanig the tank.

Where is the white stuff at in the tank? As some said they could be fish eggs. If it's along the glass it could be a kind of algae. We would need more information to make an accurate diagnosis.
