Okay, I bought this guy about 2 months ago. He' in a 30 gallon tank with 250 watt Reeflux 12k.



Notice how nice and green it is? The iphone pic doesn't even do it justice. This guy was a brilliant neon green, with large bubble tips. It was truly the nicest thing I had in my tank.


Well, here it is now....


It has lost quite a bit of its neon luster. I wouldn't say that its looking unhealthy, but it seems to have moved to a area with less light, doesn't have the same bright coloration, and I havent seen nice big bubbly tips snce that first week I had him.


Im just wondering why mine doesnt't look like this guys....




Is there some sort of addative that BTA's like?


Thanks for the help
