theres alot of threads on this site with the same question either search for them and read them or wait on this one... my answer is this whatever foods your fish doesnt eat in 10 minutes, Remove it. the fuzzy stuff is mold. It produces nitrates in your water, and that = BAD WATER CONDITIONS. so do your fish a favor remove the food, or get a better filter that will help you do the work. what are you feeding? in what size tank?

It's just little organisms eating away at the food.
