I just got a betta almost two weeks ago and this is already starting to form thanks for the info

[andystokes]

Another way to get rid of it which does not involve chemicals is to just float a piece of newspaper over it for a few seconds. When you lift the paper off it takes the film with it.

Thank you for making this video! I’ve had this happening for a while now and just thought it was oil from my skin or something. Now I know!

I have this in my betta tank however betta really hate high flow so I am really hesitant in increasing the flow. As bettas breathe air on the surface would mine actually be affected by this?

[Nellzurkat]

It's always that my betta tank has it with the filter yet my Jarrarium with absolutely no circulation and zero water changes doesn't have this.

I really appreciate this video because my betta tanks have this and it's annoying! Thanks for the video!

[MehHalfhearted]

A simple bubbler is the easy and effortless answer to this problem.
Whenever I get biofilm buildup, I always just stick an airstone into the tank and walk away. The film will be completely gone within a few hours, and all I had to do was plug in my airpump.

You don't need to use chemicals or buy a special filter or waste paper towels or anything like that. All you need is the cheapest air pump you can buy.

I like this video. I have a new betta and put a sponge over the outflow of my filter to reduce any current for him, but I think what’s contributing to this is the live plant I put in. My siphon changing of the water didn’t help so I tried to skim it off with a tea strainer but that wasn’t very effectual either. Probably gonna do another skim and remove the plant I put it. Thanks for this video, very informative!

Very fortuitous timing because i have this going on in my scape right now. Usually it happens in my set up around 6 weeks after the filter has been cleaned and the flow becomes considerably slower. I've always just taken it as a sign the filter needs cleaning without fully understanding what it actually is.

You can remove this by slowly lowering a container in to the water and skimming of the surface. You should see the film flow in to the container.

My bettas tanks have super low flow because thats how they seem to like it so i used to run into this problem all the time. I just turn the air stone on for an hour when i wake up each morning to get rid off the small amount that builds up every day. Works really well for me

[MrBAchompBAchomp]

Is the hydrogen peroxide safe to spray in the aquarium like that if you have fish and shrimp?

[kevingrover]

This just helped me solve a problem with my two 3.8 gal. betta tanks that was driving me nuts. Thank you!

[v_the_engineer]

My 10G had this! I added an air stone and it fixed the flow problem

[alis]

I have a thin layer all the time from excess nutrients, because the plants haven't caught up yet. It is not a big problem, because oxygen is present to a degree it is saturated in the water.

It traps O2 in the water to some degree as well as CO2, but it is not a big deal in general.



Some part of it is made of dust caught on the surface by my cooling fans.

Also, I'm liking the more frequent uploads!

[skeletonman]

This happens because the water is not moving

You’ve posted this literally a week after I got some MAJOR film. Like the film was so thick you couldn’t see through it
