Let your gut lead you, like I said, if its a really nice morph be all over it. Dont just buy it becaue 20 heads is a lot =). I have gotten really nice blastos for 80 with 10-15 heads that were just gourgeous morphs!

Here are a few of mine.

I just picked this fellow up this weekend. I think it has some nice potential.

This one will be insane when its a colony in 2025! I think I like this one better then my solid lavender one. Infact, the few polyps of solid lavender I have deeloped baby blue like streaks...its insane =).

Jendub · 01-03-2005, 10:43 PM

Heheh you guys/gals have issues =).

Jenn ya they are pretty darn slow growers!

Bocaswim · 01-04-2005, 08:25 AM

For those of you keeping both Acans and Blastos, how would you compare the growth rate. I have seen merletti grow rather quickly and my wellsi have several new baby polyps starting, but I only have one small acan frag so I cannot really say much for comparison. I have been spot feeding a meaty diet and cyclopeeze as others have suggested. This is what the above colony looked like about a week after I received it.

Bocaswim · 01-04-2005, 08:34 AM

And another look at it today. It has been in my system for three months.

Craig Manoukian · 01-04-2005, 09:26 AM

Nice growth in three months!

Bocaswim · 01-04-2005, 09:48 AM

Thanks Craig-Although it is difficult to say if the changes are from growth or just better health. The polyps have really fattened up and the colors have become much brighter overall. I have also started to see an new batch of baby polys forming around the edge of the colony. I have found that they prefer a decent amount of flow similar to sps. Now I just need to figure out how to frag them

Boca, a Dremel with cutting wheel works great to frag blastos. Just cut it between the polyps and you won't even cut any flesh. I love the color on that one. I would love a frag if you do decide to frag it.
