Oldsalt01 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I was recently given a small green toadstool and am wondering about their requirements. I know they tend to be pretty hardy but I'm concerned about their lighting and flow requirements. I have a 1 year old 14g Biocube with a standard first chamber, modified center chamber running floss over reticulated foam over 3 ceramic balls in a home-made eggcrate frame, and an upgraded MJ900 pump. Lighting is stock right now, although I am going to upgrade to a Hydra 26 when the resources allow. I placed it low on my rock, wedged into a hole as the base was attached to a tiny piece of rock. 25% weekly water changes. Anyone have any recommendations as to where the toadstool should be placed for now? It's been in the tank for 24 hrs and when I got home tonite the tendrils had extended on half of it. That seems like a good sign. I'd post a pic but I can't get it below 2.26 MB and with a 1MB limit it won't post.Livestock:3 Trochusa few Dwarf Ceriths1 Florida Cerith2 Red-legged Hermits2 Blue-legged hermits2 Peppermint Shrimp (one's pregnant)2 Firefish2 Ocellaris1 Armageddon Paly clump, small but spreading rapidly1 small Radioactive Dragon's Eye zoa clump 1 small Dragon's Eye/Watermelon zoa clump and a small clump of Watermelon/Radioactive Dragon's Eye mix Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 My toadstool seems to like high light and medium to high flow. It never extended as much when I had it at the bottom of my tank. Link to comment
