I am hoping this may make sense to someone out there. About a year and a half ago I adopted a mature (approx 6 years old) female RES and all was going well until about 2 months in. My wife and I noticed that the tank was turning white. It appeared to be a fog and upon inspection I noticed a thick film forming on the surface. What followed next is an terrible almondy smell.

I thuroughly cleaned the tank and we determined it to be her food causing digestion problems so we switched from repotomin to Zilla. All was well for a while but it happened again and the only cure a thurough cleaning. My wife and I moved and the tank had an unfortunate accident. Since June the problem has not occured with the new tank until three days ago. The fog, smell and thick film are back.

Has anyone seen or heard of this before?

One more note she appears to be in great health. Active, clear eyes and great color.

Thank you in advance
