#white mold

Honestly... this is not the weirdest phobia I've dealt with (and there are many... many... phobias that are much stranger than this one). Mycophobia is pretty common, so this doesn't even phase me. In fact, it's nice to be able to conjure up the easier fears if I need a quick snack!

Hey reptiblr or anyone who knows about water - any idea why this would happen to water bowls in leopard gecko tanks?

I've never seen this before, but it appears to be mold on the surface of the water. I didn't spot it until today so it must've bloomed quite fast as I disinfected the bowls a few days ago. I use herp-specific water treatment because I taste the chlorine in the water here myself. Sometimes I do add a drop of a liquid multivitamin for reptiles, so I'm wondering if that could've caused it? I can't specifically remember if I added it last time but it tends to make the water slightly yellow so it looks like maybe I did.

I've obviously cleaned and disinfected them just now, but I'm curious if anyone has any good ideas or can confirm what caused it. I was in 4/4 bowls, though more in some than others, and my bf is going to also replace the rhacs' water bowls since we usually mix treatment (and potentially multivitamins) in a bottle before filling all the bowls up from it. I'll be using a new bottle as well
