mr1b Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I got a green open brain saturday night and acclimated it slowly to my tank. I noticed this last night and was wondering if this is ok. Basically, when the lights go out in my tank at night the brain closes up really tight and the tenticales come out like they should, but I noticed this white thing sticking out in 3 places. This is the largest one that is sticking out and is maybe 1/2cm to 1cm long. Durring the day it does not close up at all, it puffs out, but is deflated a bit. Should I be concerened? He accepts food readily and my water parameters are: Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10-15ish Ph: 8.4 Temp: 78 Link to comment

RayWhisperer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It'll be ok. Just keep your nitrates down, they are getting high. Remember Green Open Brains need more light than Red's do. Link to comment
mr1b Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok thanks. Im running the stock lighting from the 24g NC but I'm in the process of finding the funds to upgrade to 4X36 from nanocustoms.com. My nitrates are slowly lowering too. Link to comment
