Question about tank water

[FishyLoveBug]

Yesterday I was feeding my boys some peas when I noticed there was a "residue" coating the water. It wasnt colord in anyway really, you could just notice it was a few shades diffrent than the normal water. Thinking it was form the peas I waited a bit then did my normal 50% water change.
Today I came back and checked and it is still there. Im curious if maybe it is my Algae Detroyer, if you notice in the bottle it seperates into a white and a light brown. I also add a couple drops of Stress Coat with aloe every other change which has a bit of a tint to it and AquaSafe. Do you think the residue is from this or should I be concerned about my tanks?


Oh yes forgot to add this is in all of my tanks not just one.

I had a similar situation, and it turned out to be the betta pellets I was feeding, putting a "oil slick" if you will on the top. It was a petsmart brand of pellets. needless to say I no longer use that brand.
The reason I was using that brand was to give them a variety of pellets instead of just one brand (hikari) of pellets. Check your food. in my case it was it.

I used to have that little film of slime on my tanks - I have decided it is from a lack of enough surface agitation. I put a slight bubble drip into each tank and it's gone.

My best guess is that it comes form a combo of things - slime from the fish itself, slime and stuff from the food, etc.

Did it happen to be Top Fin Betta Bits?

You cant even really see it on Vegas side he has the whole top of his tank covered with a bubble nest
