toadstool troubles

[chris121277]

I have toad stools, and just put stuff in for Phosfates. Does that hurt them??

If I remember right, I think that the Seachem Phosguard has aluminum or some chemical in it that toadstools aren't fond of. Try removing it and see if it perks up in a bit. Adding some carbon couldn't hurt either. Could also be it is shedding or there is some chemical warfare going on.... Mine goes through a week every once in a while when it shrivels up and looks like absolutely dreadful, like it is going to die then it comes back looking better than ever for no apparent reason.

well if yours change their attitude please let me know as that will solve all this...and if not let me know as well.

going to try a 10g water change and see if that helps...just gotta keep reminding myself that patience is a virtue!!!
