Free-floating single-cell algae, as skeeter indicates. If you wish to avoid chemicals, you may try measures described in the article. Another old trick was to turn off the tank light and tape black construction paper over every facet of glass.

- Try a couple days for starts. Then maybe give the fish some normal room light for a few minutes and return it to the dark for a couple more days.

Algae will form in any tank if your filter is not working properly, or if there is a build-up of excess food and/or fish crap. See the pet shop guy about it.

- And reduce the ammount of light.
