New red carpet not doing so well

cook · 08/30/2006, 07:08 PM

I recently got a small red carpet(2 weeks ago). I am not sure that he is a haddoni, as he likes rocky surfaces. He is eating but displays his mouth inside out every day. This anenome is in a low flow area, but I am sure he likes goog waterflow. Should I switch my ph so it is stronger for him?

NO!!! Unless your pH is too low to begin with...gradually raise it over a day or 3. I have a white carpet that has done that for more than a year. Sometimes thats what they do. Remember that they expel waste through the same hole they eat with. If you should happen to see a funky looking brown thready substance being expelled...just offer it it some T-P. More than likely he's fine.

What color are his sides?...mine have a color similar to shark steaks (pink-ish for lack of a better descriptor) Sorry for the food reference sharks dudes!!!
