Kind of odd, I have some foam typ bubbles on the top of my tank... tested and water is good, the only chemical I use is prime. anyone got any ideas on what it could be?? even though water parameters are ok, I am going to do a water change just incase...
 
Feed high-protein food? Have any fish spawning in there lately?
 
Freeze dried krill, massivore, spectrum, crickets... dont think there is any spawning, 1 wild caught oscar, indo dat and giraffe cat.. just did a water change, looks much better but still a tiny bit left...
 
You can drag a paper towel quickly across the bubbles and that should take care of it. Just use the most organic, bleach free, non-toxic paper towel you can find. But to be honest, I used regular paper towels all the time and didn't have any issues I knew about. Protein slicks are common in betta tanks.
 
Nah. As long as you've got a HOB or an airstone, something breaking the water's surface, it's no threat.
