Bought this acro the other day at a LFS. Nice dark blue color which is nice. Probably going to be a slow grower. The LFS had it under 1000 Watt 20K bulbs so I may change color on me.

If you can id it for me, I would appreciate it.

Wish my point and shoot camera was a little better.

You guyz sure know how to ruin a guys night.

Saw 2 with the flash light. One was on the coraline aglae beside it and on was on the acro. Looking at my big acro it is hard to see around all of it. But did not see anything like a red mite.

I did not see any on any of my other acro frags.

So it could be isolated to one if that is possible.

I guess I will monitor the situation.

Thanks for the id. You think it will be a slow grower?

Working on increasing flow in the tank. Sure wish unze would get those nano streams out on the market soon.

depends on your tank and the bugs,, if they keep it aggrivated it wont do nuttin.... they eating the tissue ,, Id watch it.. should be a moderate grower otherwise though
