There is alot of foam bubbles on top of my water its white. And there is some stuff floating around in the water.I just clean the tank yesterday and treated them for ick. I have never seen this before. All stuff is fine. This is not them laying eggs or something is it. There is also just alot of regular bubbles on top that dont go away it is very weird.

And is a pic possible?

That looks like some kind of foam. Can you net it out?

I would test your water to make sure all is where it should be, and then just keep an eye on your fish.

I know too much protein in your fishfood can give that kind of foam.
What do you feed your fish, how much and how often?

I just clean the tank yesterday and treated them for ick.

any idea what kind of med did you apply in the tank? normally, some medicine
would teact that way...sometimes, even the liquid vitamins produces foamy
bubbles on top of the water specially if you have strong aeration.

That is either some kind of impurity in the tank or the water coming out of the filter is causing bubbles to form. I would guess the impurities but to remove the other possibilty change your filter outlet so it doesnt splash the water (but keep the water rippled)

I had that same foam in my tank when I first added sand substrate to it. It almost clouded the surface of the water and they dry up on the glass and stays. It took a while before it was gone. But as for your tank which had gravel in it, I can't really say.
