It's on my Niger Trigger.

It looks kinda Like jelly hanging off its tail.

Tank age? When was the last fish added?

 

[jlcoop277]

Tanks been up for about 2.5 months now. Last fish added this past weekend. It wasn't there earlier today.
Current tank is my QT tank. I'm setting up my DT currently.

 

[snorvich]

Is that lumpy looking? Sort of like cauliflower?

 

[jlcoop277]

No, it looks more like( for lack of better wording) a little trail of snot.
I'll see if I can get a better pic

 

[jlcoop277]

Well what ever it was is now gone, i'm gonna keep a close eye on everyone in the tank and see if it pops back up anyplace else.

Glad you have the QT idea; but that nice LR in a QT isn't a good idea. Meds will destroy it and it makes monitoring of meds almost impossible. A QT should be bare, except for some PVC pieces for shelter. There is a good way to always be ready to instantly cycle a QT, making LR unnecessary---let me know if you need the info.
BTW, the thing on your Niger may have been an isopod (or part of one's life cycle); they are usually harmless and can be removed by hand.

I'd love the info. I planned on moving the LR to the DT once it's all set up and cycled.

Thanks for the isopod lead, i'm gonna have to read up on that.

here's a copy.

"In regards to Qt cycling; I've done this for years. Get a HOB filter; I really like Aqua-Clear, they have a big sponge and last forever. Don't use the carbon or ceramic noodles that come with the filter. Also, have some extra sponges on hand, they're cheap. Keep a sponge in the flow somewhere in your DT. When you need a QT or HT, just use the sponge that has been in your main system in your QT filter---the QT will be instantly cycled. When done, toss the sponge and keep a new one ready in your main system.
BTW, Cupramine copper, used in a QT,will not destroy a bio-filter."
