Droopy toadstool? My toadstool has been retracted and slowly been going more and more droopy by the day, it is leaning over now, this just normal or is there something wrong with it?

Leathers are weird sometimes but what are your parameters in the system and how long has it been in your tank? In my experience some softies take a while to acclimate. If you’re not doing weekly water changes make sure you add a little trace elements to the system every week. I do a 10% weekly water change and dose trace elements on my 30 gallon softy tank and everything grows like weeds in that system.

Been in 5 months and completely fine, nitrates are a bit high but they’re lowering

Ya my toadstool will get upset once in a while but perks back up the next day. Calcium, alkalinity, magnesium all in check? Not that they really need it to grow just if they are off then other things might be off too. Is it a mixed system or just softies?

Also they’ll be happy for months with something they don’t really like (low flow) for example but they do a wax coat thing to clean themselves off and if the flow can’t clear off that coat it will stay that way, I had to move mine not too long ago, fast forward 3 weeks and it grew too big for my tank 🤣
