[DanConnor]

It looks nice anyway.

Finally got a picture of mine! It's about 3 inches. It was half an inch when I first got it...super tiny! I feed it a lot and it has grown a lot considering I've only had it for less than a year.

 

[DanConnor]

Cool! Do you have a picture of how it looks now?

Leslie, I was looking at that same toadstool. I have one already but thought about it for a min.
got my 1st order from them a cpl days ago.

I think I have an aussie bright neon polyops but with a pink/tank skin so prob. aussie. i'll post a pic just to keep the thread going and get an confirmation ID.

They look nice but grow incredibly fast. and they release a lot of chemicals when distressed. need heavy filtration to keep them especially in nanos.

Most people who own the Japanese toadstool say they grow extremely slow...

I love it. It is one of my favs, I dont really care about all the "names" as long as it lives and is pretty! Lol

I just picked one of from Zeppelin on RC. It is solid florescent green; very nice piece.

I also picked one up from him a couple of months ago. It is doing great and is solid florescent green.

I remember several years ago there were two different color forms - bright glowing neon green and one that was a mint green. are both still around? would love to get me some as mine died many moons ago.

I believe I have a Japanese toadstool. I'm unsure of how to tell, but I've had this one for 5 months now and it has barely grown at all. Are there other characteristics that tell them apart?

Either way I love this piece and can't wait for it to grow!

Just got one for my tank last night.

how much did you pay and how big? Only reason I ask is bc there is one about 2 hour drive away from me for $50 and it's less than 2" tall

 

[Young@Heart]

$40 only know of 3 people in the city I live in that have one. I have it seen it open yet. I am told it will grow well though.

My true deep water Japanese came from cornbred direct about 12 months ago. Much different in growth compared to my Tyree toadstool.

Which do you prefer based on color and movement? How is growth different?

I for sure prefer the Deepwater version. It’s much brighter but the growth is significantly slower. Both prefer high flow medium light.
