This looks similar to stuff I get occasionally, I get mine on wood only and not that much though, I got told by a LFS it was a fungus from the wood reacting to water in a way, not sure specifics etc, i believe it is harmless though, I even have snails that’ll get rid of it occasionally

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you think its worth investing in a few snails?, thanks!

It looks like rotting fish food to me. Siphon it out of the tank!

Did you cycle the tank before adding fish?
What are your water parameters: ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

Personally snails are a must in my tanks, some don’t like them, if you do, be prepared for dozens of baby snails everywhere.

Back to the fungus I’d siphon it out when you can.

I had this fungus in my 30L Nano & I have around 4-6 Nerite snails maybe, I do have a lot of baby’s though so maybe go for less if you don’t want to pick them out individually
