Hi, i have an albino frog....in the bottom of my tank.. i keep getting these white cloudy mass type things. It almost looks like little bits of cob webs or something at the bottom of my tank. Any ideas? thanks for your time!

I got something similar - does it look like a little poof of white coming from a central dot? I finally figured out it was bits of the betta food that wasn't being eaten. I guess it's the cooties that grow on it after it's been in the tank a day or so. It only happened with that particular food type. The frog/tadpole bites don't do it. I stopped using that one food, and I don't have the problem anymore.

Are youe sure it isn't just shedding it's skin? Whenever mine do there's a mess in the tank unless one of them eats the skin. Yuck! LOL
