It'll be a fungus of some sort; usually harmless; just syphon it out, but do check it's not rotten food; that would be sign you need to cut back on the feeding a bit.

I will syphon it out, don't think its food as I don't put a lot in at once and when feed I will watch the fish to see if eaten the first lot I have put in for them.

I feed twice a day, a pinch of flakes and the same with dry foods and in frozen half a cube, but not all at once lol I was told to miss a day out each week, off feeding a few years back so the fish and empty themselves.

Well if the fungus persists, maybe try cutting down to only once a day.
