clam losing color and pattern

[daniella3d]

I don't know anyone around growing live phyto. The bottle I have does not stink though, and I checked under the microscope and it was alive. Maybe you got a bad batch?

I remember that I once got a DT live phyto that was smelling really bad and I did not use it for long before putting it in the garbage.
