They can be a pain on the occasion,for sure. Those are super nice. The one on the far right on the 1st pic looks super interesting.

That frag started out as 2 main heads,now has 5 teenage heads on it. The darker splotches on it are purpleish so its super interesting.

Thank you!

The far right one is almost black with green glitter effect. I am looking forward to these growing out. I feel my lack of success was from not feeding them enough. I swore I wouldn’t try acans again but a vendor talked me into it and here we are lol

Your rainbow one looks great. As do the others. All look very healthy and happy and unique

That one ia going to be crazy I feel like. I feel like frequent feedings and low light they are amazing and easy.

Thank you,I have a couple of rainbows and honestly besides the one I posted are all ehhh. I like the odd colors.

Nice collection. I love acans but my hippo loves them more. He has such personality I had to forego the acans. Oh well.

Whats the key to keeping the HG happy ? I've lost 2 frags. One popped off like 6 babies,after about 6 months then browned and withered away. While all my other acan's/micros were fine and happy.

Amazing collection btw.
I really don’t know. It’s the third I’ve had. Just give good light, modest flow and the whole tank gets a good amount of frozen food

Reach out to Ben at BSA. His Asians are super healthy and there is a lot of selection to pick from.

Gotcha. I was texting with them a few years back but never pulled thw trigger. All the ones I got from TSA are all gone. Seemed to be a bacterial infection of some sort,and it only affected the asain style acans.

This one literally just arrived 20 min ago. right out of the shipping bag and into a Tupperware for acclimation.

Wonder what it will be like when it opens
