[HELP] White blooming cotton-like substance and spots!

As per topic. I have them growing on the toothpicks I tied together to serve as a perch for my Lychas Mucronatus. Any idea what are they? =/

The enclosure is low in ventilation and humid. The toothpicks seem moist too after a day. Could it be fungi?

fungi or mold. picture would help. but anyway that's nothing good.

I'll just clean the toothpicks every now and then. =/

Wood is a great host for mould and fungus. I had a bamboo skewer in one tank and the mould grew and propagated on it quite well.

Thanks for the response. =) Any way to counter this problem?

best thing would be to keep changing them or not have them.
Wet wood will always get fungus or mould

Yep, sounds like mold. If you can replace it with something made from plastic, that should help.

get cork or cork bark, it resists mould

Understood.

Thanks alot guys and the girl.

once when i forgot to take a chewed up ball of cricket mush out of my scorp tank.liked like microscopic mushrooms.

best of luck to you. L. mucronatus are such a stunning species, I've got a pair but one hasn't acclimated so I don't think it's going to last much longer. I give them a natural water dish and the active one can be observed at night hanging out at the edge of the dish.

i jz had one die on me. =( how do u know that it hasnt been acclimated?
