Mushrooms Falling off! - Aquarium Advice

Steven_Askham · 02-25-2006, 06:05 AM

I justw anted to know why mushrooms would remove themselves from there current posistion because I have some and now two small ones have removed themselves from the rock where the rest are and has fallen to the sand.

What should I do?

That is a pretty good indicator that they were not happy where they were. You can either leave them alone and let them find their own "happy place" or you can reattach them to a piece of rock. You might also want to check your water quality.

Is the rock crowded with mushrooms. They will fall off if there`s not much room.

Water quality is fine but this one rock was home to over 20 baby mushrooms.

sounds like there moving because of the lack of room... Happens all the time..

I agree. Too crowded. This is their way of thinning out and starting somewhere else.
