    How long have you had them?
    How long has your tank been up and running?
    What kind of light's do you have them under?

    thanks for all of your help and i appreciate the humorous comments! haha. The tank itself has been running for over 2 years now, but I have only had it for about 3 months, haha. I'm not sure what kind of light it is but I can find out and get back on that....all I know is that it is a very expensive one!! lol. Again thanks for all the help! :) :-D I'm so happy this is normal!
