I purchase 2 green todestools from a fellow RC member who lives in a neighboring town 2 1/2 weeks ago. One has a disk about the size of a quarter the other a little larger than a silver dollar. Both were in great shape when I picked them up.
They are not opening and I am starting to get a little concerned now. The large one opened the first few days at least partially but has not opened in over a week and a half. The small one has yet to open although there were points were I did see small green bumps on its top. It is now starting to look a little wilted. They say that these things can stay closed for up to several weeks when moved so I was trying not to panic but I am worried now. My water parameters are great except my temp swings from 79 to almost 84 every day. Can't think of what else would be offending them. My phosphate remover is not the aluminum based that irritates softies. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
