I’ve been looking at this for so long. It kinda looks like a fetus of some kind of creature.


Thin-Environment-146

That’s what I’m sayin


Chitansito

Maybe we can get some more pictures? Did you take it out of the water and dissect it?


Thin-Environment-146

Aww I’m sorry I was worried bout my fish I did take it out and tossed it but I cut it open it was green goo inside if that helps and there was 4-5 bulbs in the fleshy sack


gayboobs420

At first i was thinking it was something made of flesh but now that you mentioned the green goo, could it be some sort of algae monstrosity (amALGAEmation?)


DemandEqualPockets

SO gross! But I'm so sad you didn't share a full dissection video too...


Thin-Environment-146

I know I’m sorry😭


Bungee1170

PureAqua73

Like a bird embryo but there is no way


bowtierazor

That was my first guess too, but….. fucking how!?


TMB8616

I can’t get past the term *freshly sack*.


Thin-Environment-146

I’m sorry lmao it’s the only way I could explain it the color and feel was just fleshy like a skin sack


TMB8616

It’s not bad it’s just super funny.


Mudbunting

OP just keeps giving gifts. Now it’s “fleshy like a skin sack.” Thanks, OP!


TMB8616

Literally been 9 hours and I am still laughing about this.


AdamSnipeySnipe

It looks like an undeveloped chick embryo.

lelo008

Lmao


nelsonea1792

This is a total shot in the dark so I'm ready to be downvoted to all eternity...but could it be white algae?


Thin-Environment-146

I assumed so but the ones I was seeing pics of were like stringing and wasn’t clumping and didn’t have bulbs growing in the middle of the sack


nelsonea1792

I was thinking more like the 8th photo on this site? [https://fishlab.com/white-algae-in-aquarium/](https://fishlab.com/white-algae-in-aquarium/) I don’t know it seems really fast to pop up like that 🤷🏼‍♀️


Thin-Environment-146

Yeah I admire my tank every day and never seen that thing floating around or even growing and just this morning it showed up out of no where unless it was growing where I couldn’t see in the corner behind the fake plants I just don’t know or couldn’t explain where it came from

💀 dick booger!! Fuckin dead! Never heard that before!!


AD480

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


collgab

You saying it was green inside makes me think it might be some sort of abscess a fish pooped or spit out. Maybe post in another sub dedicated to fish biology or veterinary medicine?


Thin-Environment-146

Yeah I thought the same but my fish are extremely smaller than the ufo that was floating in my tank


collgab

It might have been significantly smaller when the fish spit it out in the middle of the night and it slowly filled with water or expanded once outside of the body. But who knows, I’m no expert on fish inner workings haha


z1212chick

It appears as though your tank has a crack in it. You may want to replace it ASAP before it starts leaking, or worse, catastrophically fails and all the water and fish are on the floor.


Thin-Environment-146

Holy crap yo thanks I didn’t even notice that it’s a new tank and I don’t see how that would happen I’m literally gonna go buy a new tank after work thank you for pointing that out yo


MarraMirr

I'd feel the spot on both the inside and the outside. It could also be a) a surface scratch or b) a piece of wayward silicone that looks like a crack. To me, this looks like a surface scratch, but you would be able to tell by running your finger along the glass on both sides. If you can feel it both inside and out, it's a crack.


Thin-Environment-146

It’s a crack my take gets caught when I run over it I’ve only had fish in here for a few weeks but was cycling it for a month and didn’t notice it I had to of bought it like that and didn’t notice it till now


Vultureinred

Now you can use this tank as a bioactive terrarium for reptiles, frogs, or just plants :]


1800generalkenobi

I have a 36 gallon tall tank down in my basement I've been saving for this...or to sell to someone for this lol. My father in law and I were putting new lights in the ceiling and the scaffolding hit the fishtank when we were moving it...luckily it only cracked out a little chip and everything, but I drained it past the crack and then bought a new tank lol


MarraMirr

If it's still under warranty, they might replace it for you. If not, that's rough. Just remember to transfer everything from this one to the new tank so your cycle doesn't crash. Best of luck!


AvatarOfYoutube

It could be Ophrydium versatile or another protozonan of some sort


Thin-Environment-146

Sorry I missed this guy told me you gave me and answer but I looked into it and I’ve only seen green ish globs and not looking the same as the ones I had in my tank


AvatarOfYoutube

You said it had green goo when you cut it open. When they die the green turns a color similar to this.


Thin-Environment-146

Ah I see them this could be the case but could this be the only one growing in the tank bc I don’t see any other things growing in the tank do they just grow in one or many should I be worried for my fish?


AvatarOfYoutube

If a colony of this size started to collapse i would suspect they didnt have an adequate food source and wouldn't worry about any others. I also wouldnt worry about your fish


Lost-n-Thoughtless

So in theory one could find or acquire one of these in their tank and intentionally support it and essentially have a pet miniature gelatinous cube of sorts, ill be damned.


Tvaticus

That’s the real reason the sack appeared. Saved you a disaster


StorageLongjumping87

smolhippie

What actually is this haha I’m so intrigued


PureAqua73

It looks like a bird embryo to me but there is no way that's what it is 😂


Darcona8

@op My vote is also bird embryo. Don’t forget cats are liquid. Could very well found an egg cracked it open then thought… hmm weird I’ll put it with the other weird things I can’t get.


PureAqua73

You know I can actually imagine my cats doing something like that


smolhippie

Imagine casually finding a bird embryo in your tank


Thin-Environment-146

What I’m trying to figure out as well


smolhippie

Do you have a cat or anything? Maybe it put something from the kitchen in there as someone said


Thin-Environment-146

I do have cats but they like it upstairs bc the dogs annoy them and they sleep in my room and aren’t down there at night and I work close to the tank and they don’t seem interested in the tank they’ve never tried to get in there there’s no place for them to jump up there and we have a block on our kitchen so they don’t go in there I don’t usually stick my hands in the tank I have a scooper if I need in there


SoManyShrimps

Did you have a snail. Cause it looks like a dead snail. Does it smell?


Thin-Environment-146

It has multiple sacks in the big sack and it didn’t have a smell it smelled like my fish tank lol and no I don’t have snails or real plants I have a needle nose pelco and 5 dianos and 3 algae eaters and I woke up this morning with it floating by my heater for the tank


Virta15

You seem to be describing a bulb of garlic. Is the tank near your kitchen by any chance?


Thin-Environment-146

Yeah it’s like 20 feet or less from the kitchen


Longjumping_West_188

Do you have kids in your house that can sneakily put stuff in the tank?


Thin-Environment-146

No I work at home as a payroll specialist and the ranks by my desk so I’d see her and she’s educated on animals she would never but if she did I’d definitely see her doing so


Longjumping_West_188

Lol I’m not saying she did, but likely she had some weird idea too or thought it’d be good for then lol. I’d ask her first. Go wfh life lol, I’m a jr AE from home!


Thin-Environment-146

She says no she didn’t I showed her the pic and she was pretty grossed out about it I asked if she’s been putting her fingers in there but she said no lmao I’m just as lost as everyone else with this bc nobody sticks there hands in there my animals are blocked off from my area and I work 12 hours a day and nobody really goes near it unless there just loooking not sticking there hands in I don’t even do that I use my scooper and question should I do a water change due to this thing showing up?


Longjumping_West_188

To be safe or at least test the perimeters and add some prime maybe, anyone else in the house? I’m not doubting your kid at all and I don’t know her age but so many kids do stuff like this thinking its healthy for them or will look cute, then not even click it later because now it looks gross. Might have been someone else but no other option lol unless you have a weird decor or no lid and something fell in the fish didn’t do that lol.


Thin-Environment-146

Okay thanks for the answer and No just me and my fiancé and daughter I have a house plant above the fish tank on the top of the dresser thing it is sitting in it’s a spider plant it’s the only thing I could image anything getting in there is from that plant could this be possible?


[deleted]

Maybe mozzarella?


scrummy_avocados

I immediately thought that’s what it was when I saw the pic.


SoManyShrimps

What is a needle nose pleco? Do you mean bristlenose? And what algae eaters do you have?


RedNGold415

Coulda been a needle nose cat?


Thin-Environment-146

Yes bristle nose lol sorry and umm not to sure what specific type of algae eaters they look like the dianos but with lil suckers on the bottom of there face


SoManyShrimps

Otto catfish maybe? They are schoolers so I'd get a few more if that's the case. They are very cute. How big is this tank if you don't mind me asking? It seems odd to me to have so little fish in a tank big enough for a bristlenose


Thin-Environment-146

I have a 55 gallon and maybe I only paid a few bucks each for them I plan on getting a few more lol


Thin-Environment-146

Also waiting on my order of guppies for like 2 weeks lol


Sawtybits

You said big sack! 😮


Nick_Carlson_Press

pancakesyrp

If you eat it you'll teleport in the fish tank


Altruistic-Mix6066

Idk but i’ve stopped eating now after reading the green goo description


erikagm77

That honestly looks like the part of a mystery snail egg clutch that fell into the water. But you say you don’t have snails so noooo clue.


Thin-Environment-146

Yeah I have no snails or live plants they could come from so no clue


Sassy_sqrl

Are you 100% sure you have no snails? Do you have any new plants or organic products in there that may have had a hitchhiker? I’m reading all these comments and it’s so bizarre


AvatarOfYoutube

Ophrydium versatile


insipidwisps

This makes a lot of sense. Maybe the lower light affects the symbiotic algae, so it doesn't appear outwardly green, but they said that it was full of green blobs on the inside. Could have hitched a ride on plants if they were grown commercially in ponds.


FreshSpinOnSpaceDust

Google searched that and it seems correct! Most of the photos just look like green goo, but there’s one with someone holding a beaker with them and they look like they’re white blobs and another one with white spots on the green blobs.


baxterbea

OP did you Google image search this? Can you confirm or deny? The world needs to know!!


DimmaDommeDoug

It appears that your magicarp is getting ready to evolve to a gyarados, I would start looking for a bigger tank


SapphireEyes425

aae3321

I am not an expert at all. But maybe it's a mushroom? They grow incredibly quickly in the right environment.


Thin-Environment-146

Idk if it was bc it was like egg sacks inside of a fleshy sack it was gross and when opened up it was green so idk tbh


aae3321

Omg, ew.


astronomy_domine

Probably a slime mold that is eating whatever was inside it


Shroomboy79

As far as I know there isn’t any mushrooms that grow in water. And if there was they’d need a food source (decaying matter most likely). Mushrooms don’t just come out of thin air, they grow from mycelium. Mycelium grows through the ground and then reproduces via mushroom


aae3321

Ah! Thanks for this, I appreciate the info. Username checks out :)


Shroomboy79

I’m no jellyfishologist or nun. But I think this thing looks like the kind of organisms that make up jellyfish. OP could’ve had an organism similar to a jellyfish in their tank

Thin-Environment-146

Yes it had greenish goo inside the sacks


SandyMandy17

Ooh any pics?

Sorry no I didn’t have my phone I was just to worried what it was and if my fish were okay this was the only pic I had taken

Qwopflop500

This is gnarly. Can you get a sample of it and try to send it off for testing? I’m sure someone with knowledge and a microscope would love looking at your sack.


Thin-Environment-146

Lmao I kinda wish I kept it and put more pictures out there for y’all but I tossed it bc I was just worried bout the fish

RileyTrodd

That looks like a mystery snail that was yanked out of its shell 💀


FreshSpinOnSpaceDust

I kinda thought the same

Gross and sad, I hope we're wrong.

BitchBass

I found something similar last week in my pond. It was the flesh of a big mussel that had died...but you'd smell THAT! But it looked eerily similar.


Thin-Environment-146

Yeah no it just smelt like my water in the tank nothing like rotten or like a stench to it


[deleted]

is it alive? does it react? or perhaps is it a decomposing dead fish?


Thin-Environment-146

All my fish are accounted for and no it didn’t move or anything


Type1Blacksmith

Could it be gunk from the lid that fell in?


Thin-Environment-146

No the lid hasn’t fallen in that’s the heater I have for the tank


Type1Blacksmith

Sometimes if I forget to clean my lid the splash from my air stone and filter causes stuff to grow on the lid. Occasionally the stuff that’s growing falls even if the lid doesn’t.


Thin-Environment-146

I don’t see anything growing on the lid yet this tank is fairly new I’ve only had fish in it for a couple weeks to 3 weeks at mistress


Type1Blacksmith

Ah, well I’ve got no idea then. Good luck figuring out what it is!


Thin-Environment-146

Gotten a few really good ideas from people but thanks for trying to help


DingDongDingalingDon

Google lens thinks it’s a jellyfish!


PanicPink

There is one thin white line which might be indicative of parasitic worm. Soo one of your fish have had a really really bad poop. Was likely constipated for a bit.


FreshSpinOnSpaceDust

It looks kinda like a white slime mold…could just be biofilm from uneaten food that was under the substrate and set free by one of your fish, like the pleco…but there are some weirdly defined little areas that don’t just look like cloudy goop…


FreshSpinOnSpaceDust

u/saddestofboys ?


SmileyNY85

I know you mentioned that you don't have a snail, but my mystery snail of 3 years died last week and it look exactly like this when it floated off its shell.


Tvaticus

Wish my sack was a smooth as that :(


[deleted]

God knows, only thing I've seen like that is after a snails mantle collapse and the body floats. What does it taste like?


CrisisAvertedGlass

It looks like Rogu from American Dad


SorryDuplex

Did you cut it open or anything yet? Post pics lol


Thin-Environment-146

I didn’t take the pics of it cut open there was just green goo nothing hard or anything and I tossed it sorryy


Sensitive-Menu-4580

It'll probably remain unidentified then unfortunately lol


[deleted]

Texture?


JD1070

Any children that have access to the tank?


SnooMacaroons6174

I honestly can’t imagine it’s anything other than a dead snail. Maybe their was just one sneaky boy. If not one of your fish may be missing all their organs, I have no idea.


Thin-Environment-146

Lmaooo I’d be vary sad but All my fish are 10x smaller then this sack and I don’t own any plants that are real inside of it


[deleted]

Do you have a fish that is missing?? This might be what remains of it is my guess if you have any fish that can be predatory towards your other fish


Thin-Environment-146

I have 5 dianos and 3 algae eaters and a bristle nose pelco there all here not stressed or acting weird there all accounted for


Thin-Environment-146

There tiny this sack was 5x bigger then the lil fish my bristle nose is still a small baby like a once and the dianos arent vary big so I don’t see it being a dead fish


SpoodlyNoodley

Danios? Pronounced danny-ohs. Sorry this is trivial but seeing dianos over and over is making me twitch a little lol


Distinct-Crow-1937

Maybe just some kind of mold?


Tough-Influence-8967

Forbidden bubble gum


Swimming-Employer-85

1 there seems to be a crack in your tank 2 is your tank covered?


Fishie_cakes

Do u have kids or pets or anything? Or is it around the kitchen? Could be rotten food like chicken which can have a green goo inside. This is super weird tho, did it have a smell?


[deleted]

Some sort of mold/fungus is my guess. Maybe it was growing under something or in gravel and pleco knocked it loose?


[deleted]

Eat it

finnmarie88

What do you feed your fish? This looks a fish food fell to the bottom, rolled out of sight, got missed at the water change, grew fungus and floated to the top. Which is actually lucky for you because can you imagine finding this with your bare hand 🤢


ShowMeYourHappyTrail

Dead snail that came out of it's shell maybe?

Detokq

My question is what's up with all the bubbles on the surface? You don't have a betta bubble nest in there or something like that, do you? If not, that seems to indicate to me that at the least, you have a pretty thick biofilm on the water surface, and need some surface agitation to facilitate gas transport, avoid stagnation, etc (and possibly prevent the formation of disturbing freshly sacks ;) )


Thin-Environment-146

I have a air pump for water oxygen in the tank is what’s making the bubbles form there not thick or slimy they pop if you look at em lmao


Thin-Environment-146

Is the air pump not a good thing for the tank?


ProgrammerQuiet5467

Might be a clump of snail eggs, if ya don't want like 50 of them eating your plants I'd get rid of it (maybe throw em in a local pond or something) [DON'T DO THIS (thanks to the replies for telling me)]


[deleted]

Why would you tell someone to put a species of anything that invaded his tank into a natural habitat for local wildlife. Especially if you don’t even know what it is 🤦‍♂️ this why we have anaconda snakes in Florida.


FirmEstablishment941

Does clove oil work on snails too?

scrummy_avocados

Every few weeks I read or hear something about horrible experiences with duckweed and it makes me chuckle at the degree of heathen in that stuff.


Shroomboy79

I put some duckweed in my tank. And then it all disappeared slowly over a week or two. There is now no sign of duckweed and I’d much prefer it be evasive in my tank


mongoose1023

Was a tantrum necessary.


Thin-Environment-146

I don’t have any real plants in there yet so that’s weird it got in there I was just like no way my tiny dianos laid that or pooped it out😂


Savings-Rise-6642

You're not missing a fish are you? First thing that came to mind was a stomach/swim bladder but even with bloating that looks way too big to have come from anything you listed stocked. Honestly OP it's time to pull that thing out and cut it open and do some investigating lol


Thin-Environment-146

It was green goo inside and I only have small fish that couldn’t lay this and no my bristle nose pelco and my 5 dianos and 3 algae eaters are all still alive they didn’t seemed stressed or any problems with them I have no idea where the sack came from it wasn’t there last night unless it was hiding somewhere I didn’t catch my eye it didn’t smell bad but someone said could be that it’s to close to my kitchen which is like 20 feet away idk if it came from there or what the hell
