Just got back from vacation. I was gone for four days. My daughter feed my fish for me. I think she feed them a bit much, but they ate. I just got done with the water changes and noticed on two of the tanks that there is what looks like air bubbles on the glass. At a closer look they are some sort of algea. Tried to get a pic of it put you can't really see. I was just wondering if someone knew what it was. I was thinking that there may have been too much lights on while I was gone.
What is this???

I think they're called Hydras...but they appear in sub par water conditions. Scrape them off the glass and keep up with maintenance as usual.
One of the tanks is a Discus tank that normally gets WC every other day of about 50% The other is very lightly stocked 110. both had a change just minutes before I left. Just finished with some test and everything seems fairly well. I can tell that they were indeed over fed. I am thinking the combination of overfeeding and too much light caused this.
ive seen those in my 20g backup when I had some feeders in it. I took out like 5g for a water change got the bubble things off replaced with good water and it went away. the water tested alright and everyone was acting fine.
