Linny Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I thought mushrooms were supposed to be the easiest thing to have in the tank but mine just seem to be shrinking. I got three smallish single ones on their own little rock or shell in the hope that they would grow and spread but to no avail. I thought they would just feed themselves but do I specially have to feed them after all? Its really annoying me as everything else is doing v. well. Link to comment
Korbin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 some tanks just don't like shrooms. I had one for 2 years that did nothing. Link to comment
Joey88again Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 What kind of water flow are they getting? If it is to strong they will shrivel up same thing if they are in to strong of light. Link to comment
Linny Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 I was thinking it might be too much movement - Is there a way of working out how much water movement you need? I have got two powerheads in a 10 gallon tank. Link to comment
rehren Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 have any photos of the shrooms? Link to comment
Smif-n-Wessom Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I had the same problem with my mushrooms, there is probably nothing wrong with them ... they are just in too much flow or too much light. I put my mushrooms on a rock that sits on the sand. They should open right up for ya. Link to comment
slickchick Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Low light and low flow...I have some that are practically in the shade with very little current and they are huge Link to comment
