i have a green bubble tip that looked great in the begining. now it is shrivled up and doesnt come out much. still has good color but never puffs up. it hasnt ate anything in about a month. most of the time it just sits there with little exposed. the lights are 4x39 t5 in a 40 breeder. nem is within 4 inches of water line, lights are 10" about water. ive had it for quite a while just dont wanna lose it

There isn't enough info for us to be able to really help you. How long have you had it? What were you trying to feed it? Can you provide pictures? The lights may be too high, but if it's that close to the surface I doubt it. How old are the bulbs? What are your parameters?
