Just some progression shots of a few pieces I have. I bought both of these in May 2011 so they are close to a year old now.

Nice growth. Where did you buy them?

 

[xEchOx]

Thanks.

I bought them online from Mr.coral. A lot of strong opinions about his shop... not something I'm looking to get into right at this moment though.

 

[Kevin8888]

LOL, ya I know what you mean, Coral dealers can be... interesting... to deal with. lol

 

[xEchOx]

It can definitely be difficult to get a feel for dealers without actually ordering yourself... Just about every dealer out there is going to have a handful of dissatisfied customers so it's hard to know who to trust.

 

[Kevin8888]

Oh for sure, I can think of a few dealers off the top of my head (not naming any names) that i've heard both extravigantly positive reviews and very negative reviews for... I've learned generally to take reviews with a "grain of salt" in the sence that I try to ignore the high and low praise and listen to the average ones more... as they generally give a better veiw of the average experience... unless most reviews are really good or really bad... then its usually a sign as to what the experience will be haha. For one i've found most people tend to only review if they either had an excellent or a bad experience with a company/product/etc not when they are just satisfied.

Check it out! Getting some color change in the 'sith lord'!

And this guy is just growing like a beast!

 

[cichlid_king]

Wow, they look really good dude. What do you feed them?

 

[xEchOx]

I feed them mostly PE mysis shrimp, but I don't feed them often. Probably about once every week. Mostly I just do my best to keep the water clean and they do their thing. I wouldn't say I'm doing anything special.
