Blue mushrooms?

[fishtaco]

Just wondering if blue mushrooms are a little harder to make happy than the other colors. The reason I am asking is I have bought two from two different LFS and both are not expanding like they should. All the rest of my mushrooms are doing great and my water tests fine. I have been moving them every week in hopes of finding their happy place, but no luck so far.

Stop moving them and let them set for a while. It is also possible that they are not as large as your others.

^^^what he said^^^
Moving them stresses them and you go back to square one.
How does your light compare to the place you got them? Mushrooms in general have low light requirements and may not like being up high in the tank...especially if they were under a ledge in their previous environment.

Happy to report that one more move and my blue mushroom is finally starting to recolor and expand a little more each day. Honestly though, I have two blues and compared to the rest of my mushrooms they are wimps and it is too bad because they are my favorite color.
