why is my fish tank floating with web like stuff nad how do i clean it2007-11-24 23:44:00Answers:

I am going to assume you have a lack of circulation in your tank. You are probably feed too much and the excess protein if forming a skin on the water's surface. The fish cannot get enough oxygen and are gasping at the surface causing the skin to break up and for a web. Buy an air pump or filter and cut down on the amount you feed. Also keep up with the weekly water changes of 25% of the water.

Could u provide more information.what sort of filtration are u using?.fish u have.size of tank?

it could be a form of algea or in some cases if using a filter with filter wool could just be the wool breaking down.

possible solutions are:

Carry out very regular partial water changes (30% of tank volume) every 14 days.

Reduce the stocking density of your aquarium.

Don't over-feed - as a rule of thumb, fish's stomachs are approximately the size of their eye and so this is about as much as you should feed.

Use white daylight bulbs - lights that peak in the blue and red spectrum are best for photosynthesis and hence encourage plant as well as algae growth. So, by using plain white light, although it is not perfect for plants, it will help to hinder algae growth.
