Newbie needs help

[shaggadelic]

So I had these in my tank for some months now. They all almost died and I was able to get them to some what come back. I wasn't feeding them at all at one point (I didn't know better) now I give them "fuel" so now instea of being transparent they actually started to get some color back. But they don't really open to much. Some do some dont. Are they sick? Have I stressed them too much?

How is your water quality, Temp and Flow? Size Tank System setup?

Also, what lighting are you using?

MP 10 pump

Cad lights 34G mini-II tank

If they were open and growing for a few months and then closed most likely it's an alk swing. If they haven't melted just give them time they will heal and come back. It might take a few months.
