Watermelon Problem HELP please

DFason · Aug 3, 2009

I just got home from work. I did a water change this morning and everything was fine. I came home and EVERYTHING else looks amazing besides my Watermelon. It is shrunken up and the mouth will spit some brown stuff out. Is it ok? I checked everything with my kits and they are normal.

Maybe just something poked at it? Ate some bad?

HELP!

Are you talking about a watermelon chalice? If the flesh is receeding then there is a problem. If it is just "shrunken" as you say and there is brown in the mouths then it is just pooping. Mine do that.

Sounds like it's expelling xzoothanallae (spelling?) mine usually do it after I move them into new lighting conditions. How long have you had it?

Thanks guys. Ive had it for around 3 weeks. Everything has been fine with it.

Its starting to look normal again. I guess I just jumped the gun. Maybe it was a little "backed up" ;)

Thanks Darren and Favia for the quick replys!
