My Orange Heads: Journal

I want some! How long does it take them to color up?

im thinking they are going to really start colouring up at around 3"

Try Tetra Color Bits - small, soft, and red (may actually help them coloring up). My juvies used to love it.

Haha that's actually what they are eating in the video! Did you find that the adults were particularly inclined towards soft water compared to other geos or not?

RO is probably your best bet, but I don't know if it's necessary for these guys. Driftwood helps to lower PH too.
