acans are they all australian

[Lishoop6]

and if not how do you tell if one is Australian

 

[InLimbo87]

You lick it, and if it tastes like Fosters then it's Australian

 

[Lishoop6]

serious answers please

 

[Cramz07]

if they tell you they just came from the barbie and had some bbq prawn....j/k i really don't know so i'd like to know the differences...

 

[nUgZ]

No they aren't all Australian. The Aussies tend to have more/better colors/color combinations than their Indo counterparts.

 

[Lishoop6]

I will post a pic tomorrow of it and see what you have to say from what I can describe it is deep purple with blue streaks in it and the die off is due to the lfs that was housing it

 

[nUgZ]

Post a pic and we'll see...

LOL!!! priceless!:lol:

 

[Lishoop6]

this is it at the store I couldn't get a good shot of it in the tank it is now

 

[Aqua-World PITT]

^^^^^^^My money on that is that it is a acan echinata from somewhere in indo it's def. not aust.

 

[Lishoop6]

any tips on care I appreciate the identification so do you think it will stay this color and what do you think made it recede so badly

 

[Aqua-World PITT]

-Medium lighting
-low flow
-i would target feed mysis and cyclops once a week. The cyclops is high in HUFAS and might give it a better coloration.

And for the receding part, did something pick at it or sting it? Thats the only thing i could think of. If it was your water the whole thing would start to die not just parts.

 

[Lishoop6]

my guess is maybe they put it to close to the galaxia frags they had in there

 

[Aqua-World PITT]

Yeah that galexia stung it. It shouldn't recede anymore.

 

[nUgZ]

Echinata it is. Just keep an eye on the recession...if it gets worse you may want to frag off the good parts. Also be careful what you put it next to...they can sting their neighbors as well.
