    Hello,

    I've had mushrooms for about a month and it seems like they have a hard time totally opening up... I've posted pictures of them... Maybe in fact they look normal and it's just me being paranoid! ;) What do you guys think?

    They are at the bottom of the tank. All the water parameter are good (ammonia: 0; nitrite: 0, nitrate: 0, calcium: 420, dkh: 12, phosphate: 0, pH: 8.4).

    I've got 4x T5 over my 75 gallon tank...

    Thanks.

    Marc-Andre

    Did you recently make any changes to the tank/equipment?

    mushrooms opens wider to take in more light. the more light there is the less they will open. keep them low in the tank as you can.... very nice looking shroom thou

    They've always been like that ever since I got them... There hasn't been any equipment/tank changes...
