    Got home an hour ago to discover white flakes everywhere in my tank. You can't really notice it unless you look carefully. It's on the glass, floating, gravel plants and rocks.

    Any Idea what this can be?

    Its a kind of parasite that mature on your fish then fall to tank bottom.
    They are very small usually.

    google it or take a pic. I usually use tetra general tonic to cure the more common diseases . but read the instructions carefully before using . also don't use it if you have white substrate I found it left mine green tinted .
