    Here are the pictures of growth that I made a little while ago. Really shows a good comparison

    My odd frogspawn

    July 8th: This one I moved even farther down as the polyps never seem to completely extend like my green frogspawn.

    ricordea (florida I believe)

    July 8th. This guy just doesn't grow very fast and was maneuvering very oddly the last week.

    Cool update!
    My guess about the frogspawn is that maybe it is getting to much light causing it to retract. Have you tried moving it a bit lower?
    Nice tank!

    That's what I was thinking but any further down and it'll be on the sand lol. What's odd is my green frogspawn is up much higher but does great with a little extra flow and light. I don't know what this guy's issue is.

    Great growth shots, ricordeas can be very slow growers, all mushrooms will move around weird at times IME.

    Thanks!

    lol. It took me a couple of months to get the ball rolling so I can understand how that goes. At least I had plenty of time to research and do things right.
    Thanks for the compliments!

    no problem! :)

    good to know that they can be slow growers; at least it's not something I am doing wrong lol.

    Very nice tank indeed. I can probably find the answer myself but how do you control nutrient levels?
