Wow, your collection is simply awesome!

I think I also have that first one you pictured , it is more green than blue when under more white lighting. correct? Kinda a forest green. I really like it because it is different from many other Indonesians.

Came in as a deep green but now is changing more green/blue.

 

[emissary43]

yup I think that is the one. always hard to say for sure. I have had mine for about a year from 3 heads and now it has about 20. Grows like crazy and eats like a champ. The red has really been coming out too, it was barely noticeable when I first got it. I picked my 3 heads up for $15 at Atlantis Aquariums.

Looks like acans dont fight if they touch each other. Is this true?

 

[emissary43]

NO! similar acans don't fight when next to each other and can be fully touching but dissimilar (species and rarely regional differences on what we assume to be the same species) will fully eat each other. Pretty much most Lords will be fine next to each other but I wouldn't mess with any others.

If you have Aussie Lords only, as I suspect, you have nothing to worry about and they will never fight ... as far as I know but you know "big ocean."

[Acan Lord]

Amazing tank for sure just bought my first acan colony yesterday. I sent you a pm so if you could check that and get back to me that would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks to all on this LPS forum.. I have learned so much in the past few years reading this forum.

The new FTS rock dude!

From the pics it appears you have the Sfiligoi XR6 or XR4....how do youn like it? I assume you run 250s in it, DE or SE? I'm looking at getting the 48" XR6 for my new 48"L x 36"W x 24"H, ~185 gal.
