| Bryozoan  | Sick Mushroom I have a couple for green stripe mushrooms that have been doing great but then all of a sudden they look very limp and thier mouths are open. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be going on? I have tested my water and all is good.

| Do I look as lost as I am   | Re: Sick Mushroom I hate to say this but you need to test your water and if your tests all come back "Normal" you need to get it tested. You've got several different things happening in your tank at once. Between the Euphie dieing back to skeleton and now your mushrooms not looking good you have something happening...

| Bryozoan | Re: Sick Mushroom Big Al, You are absolutely right. I will take it to have it tested, maybe I am missing something. The crazy thing is I should know that. I guess sometimes it just takes someone from the outside looking in to remind us what we should know. Thanks again |

| Do I look as lost as I am | Re: Sick Mushroom My pleasure. Who knows I could be WAY off base but it's good to COVER your bases first. I'm glad you didn't take that as criticism Good luck and let us know
