Spider Wed in Fish Tank

[BettaFishGirl]

There been this weird web-like string appearing in my fish tank...any ideas?

Something off the plant . Maybe an old decaying root or leaf vein .

Wait... your spider got married inside the actual tank?

sounds like it's a type of hair algae... with the same type of controls... light intensity & hours

... remembering that thread ( sorry, no pun intended ) of the picture of that huge fishing spider...

"It's just some algae, hair type to be exact. Just pull it off.
I had this exact tank a long time ago, and it always grew algae there, mostly because of how close the light is to that filter opening."

"how long are your lights on?
I kept mine on for eight hours and it still grew eventually"

I have a lot of floating plants and i don't have timer but i usually turn it on at 9am or 10am and off at 10pm or 11pm

That intelligent betta is growing its own food!

If it’s string algae which would have multiple strings, I fixed mine by reducing the brightness and dosing with hydrogen peroxide about 5ml to a 100l tank every second day for 3 doses.gone!!
