Is there a chance you'd frag that bad boy? And where would U find the green meany version?
I have a couple in my frag tank now. If you lived close I would give you one.
Mine is army green. I would like the bright green too.
They grow fast.

I will keep a piece in the frag tank but it is not going back into the 120.
