Beginning a torch graden

[Eddie7144]

It's only 2 torches at the moment, torches are my fav lps. What color morphs would you guys recommend?

I've got Aussie gold and a green with purple tips on the same rock. I'll probably put my 'black' torch on the same rock sometime. To me it's nice having the colors contrast. I most likely will never get an Indo gold or dragon soul because I don't see enough color contrast from what I have already.

I like torches but don't forget about hammers and frogs. Easier to come by and great colors to add.

I agree about the indo or dragon, to bad torches cant be next to hammers n frogs

Please don’t tell the euphyllia in my tank they can’t be next to each other! :)

That looks amazing, I'm just scared the torches will sting and kill my octospawn and hammer

I mean it could happen, but my experience has been they seem to get along just fine.

That red Goni in the background is a different story, it’s killed at least 5 of my euphyllia. That’s why it’s in time out in the back of the tank.

very nice arrangement and aquascaping, @DangerDave ! btw, how long have you had the chromis together?

how long have you had your two torches, Eddie?

 

[DangerDave]

Thanks! There is a total of 11 chromis in that tank for about two years.

I've had them under a year, I got the black /purple torch about 10 months ago , the gold torch about 6 months ago. I only got the gold torch because the LFS gave me a super deal on 2 1/2 heads. I'm on the look out for another torch that's unique but wont break the bank, unfortunately prices have gone through the roof in this hobby.
