The only odd thing I can see in the tank is some white fuzz that grows on certain things. The last clown died while I was at work. By the time I came home, he was covered in white fuzz. I also noticed that some shrimp pellets and veggie pellets seemed to be covered by this fuzz. It only seemed like ...
