Was at LEAR fragfest this weekend and ended up buying a VERY small Aussie gold torch. I’ve heard that they are tough…. But what made me pull the trigger was that it came from a mother colony that spawned in captivity, so truly aquacultured (and was only $75). I’ve had good luck so far with my Malaysian banana grail so hoping this guy works out!

Beautiful torch for a great price! I scored a banana as well but for significantly more. Lear was a great event, I’m already looking forward to it next year! Are you going to Fragenstien in Middleburg Heights in October?

That looks great! I might have talked to you when I bought it! But not 100% sure. I went to fraggenstein last year and will def go again if they have it (heard it might not happen)
