Ok, so i bought some plant seeds for aquariums at Petco. I placed them in the aquarium and after about a week there's some white web-like stuff growing from it. I dont know if it's normal that the seeds are doing that. I dont know if it's fungus but im concerned. I first noticed it about 2 days after placing the seeds in the aquarium. At first the seeds had a white looking cloud growing all around it and now they look like webs flowing in my tank. My tank is in its first week of cycling wiht 3 mollies. The mollies swam fine in the first days but now that there's this stuff on the seeds they stay on top of the tank for long periods of time as if avoiding it. I want to know what it is and if it is dangerous for the fish. Someone help please!!!!!!!

Sounds to me like a bacteria bloom. Nothing to do with the seeds..

I have two rats. Had three, but the third was born a runt and had many health issues dying about two weeks ago (RIP Kev). You can not put them in an aquarium. They need the air a wire cage provides them. I mean yes, you can use an aquarium (pet stores do), but the rats will be MUCH happier with more air. And more space for that matter! Rats need houses with at LEAST two levels. (Mine has 4). They are very smart, so they can get bored easily!! Most stores, even Walmart sells rat grain/pellets. Also give them treats every now and then. Healthy snacks too! They can drink from a bowl, but the water stay much cleaner in a bottle. My rats do best using "corn cob horse pellets bedding" from TSC. It help the cage not smell. And it's not dusty; dusty bedding makes rats sneeze or potentially inhale too much dust. Also, it's a bad idea to get a rat unless you have a lot of time. A healthy rat is a social rat. They love human attention and play time in a rat proofed room! So unless you have about 1 hour per day to spend with your new friends, it's not a good idea. Rats are the best

I'm getting the same thing in a new tank that I'm fishless cycling with fake plants. So I'm assuming its just some type of bacteria/algae and it if gets too bad i'll just clean it off. Doesn't seem like anything to worry about.
