Ok I tried doiong a search for this but none of the threads I turned up offered any solutions. A piece of collected driftwood has grown what looks like white hair/fuzz in random spots up to about 1/2" in length. The wood is cypress and was soaked and bleached before ever being added to a tank and now it is in my 75 cycling but I'm afraid to add fish at this point. So is it some kind of mold, or did I bleach some algae into albinoism?
 
It's probably just fungus from wood that wasn't fully cured. It's harmless, but will take a while to go away. A natural look, right? LOL. Mine did the same at first.
 
Molds or fungus. I'd just remove the molds manually. It will eventually stop.
 
Ok so its not likely to put off any toxins or anything? How likely would a Hoplo be to eat it, and would it be an isssue if he did?
