Okay here is what it looks like, what should I do?

 

[simm]

Youll probably get a bunch of this. Hows the water params? Lighting? Water flow?

 

[alti]

what kind of current and lighting is it in?

 

[chinnyr]

I bought some and it was ok for the first two weeks then one day looked the same as yours.I have moved it closer to the lights and increased the current.My friend advised me that they like alot of flow around them.They appear to be doing much better.I would also advise checking the quality of your water too.Good luck!

is your pH stable? I hear those guys can truely tell when your pH is not stable.
HTH

All water check are good, it is in 74watts of PC lights with powerhead is on a wavemake. I just think it hates me. I am going to try to move it to another tank. I have some other in the same tank as these and they are wonderful. This bunch is yuckie. PH is 8.3

 

[alti]

how far from the light is it and how long have you had it.

 

[dockery07]

I got it yesterday, it is about 10" from the light. I have another spot closer to the light I am going to try.

 

[alti]

just leave it alone if you got it yesterday. it may take a couple of days to adjust to your tank. what kind of light was it under in the store. did you acclimate it or just dump it in?

 

[dockery07]

I acclimated it I have horriable luck with this stuff. It never makes it.

 

[alti]

good luck

It might also be possible it was damage in transit from the store to your tank.I know when I got mine the guy dumped it into the bag upside down,smashing it against the bag.I made him cut the price in order for me to keep it.

 

[dockery07]

You know that might of happened. The place I got it from double bags everything but they do it upside down.
