Whats coming out of my Frogspawn?

[atvdave]

OK.. I was looking at my frogspawn and saw my flame angel taking a nip at it. I got a closer look and saw a worm like thing extending upward out of the mouth.

Bad pic but it's the best I can do.

Looks like its taking a dump. How long have you had it? Have you moved it recently? Whats your water temp?

 

[atvdave]

I've had it a long time. Id say it's about 2.5 years. I did upgrade to a larger tank (90 to a 125) about 3 months ago.

water temp is about 79 to 82

also it hasn't been opening up as large as it usually does. Randy is trying to help me about that matter in the chemistry forums.

It looks to me like its just expelling waste. Ive heard that sometimes they may also expel excess zoozanthelae in the same manner. Are all your water parameters ok and have you changed its position or lighting level recently?

Here's a link to my tank parameters that I posted in the chemistry forum.

On the lighting.. yes..

I had PC lighting in my old tank for a long time. I then went with 2X175W MH's for only about 2 months. Then I upgraded to my 125 tank and got this light

72" t-5's from aquactinics.

I've had it running for about 1 month. Think it may be the new lighting?

It was doing so good at first with the new T-5's

I'd agree with johnnybravo234s' eloquent synopsis - "Looks like it's taking a dump."

My torch does a similar thing, but it usually shrinks up really small when it expels the brown slime.

mine will do this every month or so its just waste

Why thankyou JotaDe. lol
