In my paludarium I have some mopani wood that is both above and below the water level. Above water there is some standard mold growth on the wood where it's really wet (blue/green, white mold). However below water, there appears to be an aquatic mold on the wood. It is a whitish-clear coating on the wood. Some is more opaque white, and some is clearer. It started thin and is now expanding, and it's like masses of gelatin in a big bubble shapes. When doing a partial water change I was able to suck some of the goo away with the hose. It looks like it's "dying down" a little bit but there is still some growing here and there.
Does anybody know if the aquatic mold is harmful to plants or animals? I'll be having an aquatic firebelly newt in there eventually, so I want to make sure it won't harm it
Thanks
