i clean my gravel every three days and i empty half the tank water once a week but there is this white stuff that feels slimy growing on the sides of the tank but only in the corners at the bottom...do i just need to scrub the tank? it only just appeared. it sorta looks like mould but the axies are in good health. the only reason i ask this is that someone told me that they are eggs and i found snails in my tank from the plants i bought i dopnt think they are axie eggs cause they are too young.

lulu - The "white stuff" just needs cleaned off weekly. On the day that you remove water just wipe the glass down. I use the magnet glass cleaners like the one you can see at the link below, and they work really well. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...roduct=HG11022

Or you can use a algae mit or scraper of your choice. Click the image to open in full size.

Snail eggs are usually pretty easy to spot on glass. They are usually laid in masses that look like a cluster of eggs rather than a white film.

Axolotl eggs are pretty big, you will know them when you see them.
