I just found white/hairy bacteria coming out from air pump in my freshwater aquarium. Is it safe for my fish?

Christine W asked:


When I saw them, it thought they were brine shrimp, but they weren’t. They look so identical…Why they live inside of aquarium air pump? My fish ate them a lot, are they dangerous?

  1. bacteria? Aren’t they a little big? Ask at the pet supply place, maybe you picked up some worms or something when you bought your last plants or fish.

  2. no it’s not it can kill your fish it’s a fuges that will slowy go on your fish make them sick and slowly die of a painful death so if u go to a petshop or even walmart get sum water condtion or aiti bacteria and it’s blue.
