Inflation...a good thing? you tell me!
Hi John
I have a Frogspawn that was like that. I considered several of the usual things, like water parameters, lighting, being touched inappropriately (and no silver glove either  ).Eventually I moved it to a lower flow area where it could pick on a candycane.  ..it seems happy now. I don't think it was just flow intensity, but what parts are hit and from where, seem to matter. Chemical inhibition and/or tissue stress from flow seems to be the reason here, maybe your Bubble could use a different office window too?

John,
I have a branching bubble with four heads. I've found them to inflate and deflate throughtout the day. No worries. They especially like to deflate and excrete brown stuff after feeding. I found that its does take some time for it to adjust to the new tank and didn't fully inflatef for some time. They don't like high nitrates and high water flow. I was slow to react and lost one the heads. Reposition the powerhead, did a few water changes and left the bubble in the same place. Seems OK now. Peter |
