what foods did you feed, frozen, or fresh food for the puffer and other fish? (illness from the food?)
when was the last time you changed the substrate on that bucket filter?(nitrates released?)
how old are your test kits?
any stray voltage or copper introduced? test for copper
I guess genetic diversity has to happen somewhere. this was like the 5th child shroom spawned and the first couple looked normal.my other guess would have been color mutations from sexual reproduction with a different colored shroom in my tank.
I'd like to see hermits that can clean the sides of my tank. They just don't clean the most visible spots. Sure they're great at scavenging but for any algae I like snails better.
