What is this

Those look like fungal spores. I'm not too sure though, we'll see what others think.

Do you have a driftwood, bogwood, or mopani log in your tank at the moment? I have a piece of mopani in mine and it grows fungus sometimes, but it's harmless to axolotls and dies off quickly in a cycled tank.

Hydra ?

 

[liznewton85]

Nope no wood also don't have any live plants

Well, those are definitely some kind of spore. Judging by the cottony look, it is probably fungal in nature. So I have a few questions.

1. What kind of things are in your tank right now?

2. Do you feed your axolotl with shrimp or feeder fish from a breeding colony?

3. What are your water parameters and where does your water supply come from?

4. What kind of food do you feed your axolotl with?

5. Where is your tank situated?

I agree with Julia, looks like hydra to me. Completely harmless to axolotls, common in freshwater environments, and can be removed with a cloth wiped over the surface of the glass.

Great thank you all so much!

Hydra ?

Always a good idea to read a post by a mod rather than continue to waffle about other stuff.....

Since I'm pretty sure that was, yet again, directed at me, I'll just go ahead and say that 1) I didn't know Julia was a moderator. And 2) I wasn't sure what "hydra" meant at the time. Now if you would kindly stop treating me like a child, I'll be on my way.
