Hi everyone,

Just purchased a Blue Tip Cristata and Aussie Pipe Organ from the TSA live sale and didn’t have time to do research before buying as everything tends to go pretty quick! I was wondering if anyone who has kept either of these successfully could chime in about what conditions you've kept these two successfully (light, flow, feeding) and would be interested in seeing any pictures! I’m also wondering how aggressive either of them are in terms of what I can place them next to.

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Thankin advance!

Cristata I believe is same as you would treat a hammer or frogspawn. But I'd wait for someone else on that to confirm.

Here's a video for Pipe Organ.
 
Cristata just treat it as any other torch/hammer etc. They are pretty easy and content across a wide range of lighting and flow. The gold and purple one I have has been under quite a few lights under my care from stock biocube 32led then a fluval marine 3.0, AI Prime 16, and currently under AI Hydra 32s. And flow they've been anywhere from random flow zone into 2-3 ft down flow from my return nozzle.
