Strange Things in QT Tank

[Jody Owens]

I was checking on my fish in QT today and noticed these in the bottom of the tank. I am currently only running Coppersafe. Any idea what this could be?

What kind of fish do you have? The only thing(s) it could be would be either something that fell off something in your tank (like the PVC, or into the tank) - or some waste from the fish - how big is it - and is it hard or soft?

There is one Foxface and Clown in the tank. Could it be waste from them if I was giving them Metroplex previously while they were in the display? I moved these fish into a QT system because they were showing issues in the DT.

Don't know - I would say if its hard like ceramic its something else. If it's soft like 'poo' - it could be that. If its not moving its probably a non-issue

Well your foxface isn't constipated.

If moving, may be flatworm but I suspect minimal water movement and waste sticking to glass as it’s representative of rabbit fish feces

I think that is exactly what it is. I noticed that the Foxface had a lot of white spots on him which appeared to be ich. Because of that, I moved him into a QT setting so I could put him in copper.
