So lucky!

Well, just a word to the wise: if you see one batch of mould/fungi, never assume that is all there is. I decided to do a spot cleaning in my 25 gallon FBT tank to get rid of the light and neon yellow fungi that I had discovered growing in the soil a week or so ago. Needless to say, upon removing all decorations and moss, my entire tank was infested. Literally, it was everywhere. I am extremely lucky it seems not to have an a negative effect on my toads. All 9 toads were immediately removed and are in a temporary 10 gallon quarantine tank for observation. The 25 gallon is being completely taken apart and sterilized and reset up with an aquatic layout with two large turtle docks and a mix of live and silk plants. No more dirt for this setup! What a mess!!

The problem is that we've no idea if this fungus does any harm at all. In my opinion, most fungus we encounter in terrariums is totally harmless.

I just didn't want to take the chance. When I moved the moss, it was everywhere, along with some fuzzy mould. I did not have an inch of that tank that did not have fungi growing. I didn't mind the little mushrooms, but this stuff did not look the same at all. I included a couple of pics. I was amazed at just how much of it there was, and having recently lost a toad in that tank, I needed to make sure the rest of my toads would not get sick.
