Mushrooms

[aeharkins9092]

So I bought some mushrooms from the store a few weeks ago and I've noticed the past few days that they are not as big as when I got them, all levels are good and I just did a 25% change yesterday and cleaned the tank. Is this normal, or should I be worried. I'll post a photo when I get a chance!

Flow and light will keep them from opening too.

Agreed, they're probably not happy with the light and flow they have in your tank compared to the LFS you bought them at. Most do best in low light, low flow.

Do they look healthy and is this good placement?

I purchased my first mushrooms this past Saturday. For 3 days they looked all curled up and washed out. I moved them last night to less light and current. Just got home from work and they are full and the colored nicely.

Possibly to much flow

those deffintly have a flow issue, they like very little flow, I always put mine in the spots that have the least amount of flow in the tank with lower lighting
