Ice / Fire Pics?

Darren · Dec 2, 2008

If you have the Ice / Fire Enchinita can you please post a pic? Thank you!

Here's an old pic, it's grown a decent amount since then:

Darren · Dec 2, 2008

Yea mine is about 1.5 inches now and has multi branches. I thought that they were supposed to fade from white to blue towards the end of the branches. Mine has stayed all blue.

Here's mine, its grown alot since this pic was taken.

Darren · Dec 2, 2008

Matthew did it start out all blue? That is what I want mine to look like.

Fish n' Frags · Dec 2, 2008

This is the best i can do as far as a progression goes. I think when i got mine it was fairly browned out and it looked like it wasn't going to make it. So, not quite sure if it was all blue or not. I know that it didn't start looking like it does now until about 6 months ago. The pic i posted above was taken about 3 months ago i believe.

Just took this one today for comparison!

Very nice. Thank you!

Sorry for the picture its a little too purple.

Fish n' Frags · Dec 2, 2008

Very nice Ian!

I took another pic today and added it to my post above for comparison.

FaviaFreak · Dec 2, 2008

Matt what is the time between photos?

Fish n' Frags · Dec 2, 2008

Not quite sure, but i do know that the first two pics are from February and the last one i took today. So from the first on to the last on is around 9 months.

Chelsey · Dec 2, 2008

I wish mine would hurry up and grow! I'm relatively happy with what color it is, I can live with it, but I'd like it to be the color of Matt's mini colony. Do you guys have any secrets to share when it comes to making it grow? I've got a decent growth rate but I'd like to have it grow faster (as with everything...)

Fish n' Frags · Dec 2, 2008

Not sure Chelsey, i think mine is growing slow so i'm not one to ask. I am pounding mine with light though. Its about 12" directly below a 250 HQI Phoenix with 4 39" T5's.

Dejavu · Dec 3, 2008

Here's mine, not the best pic. Grows slow for me.

This picture is almost a year old now, pictures aren't my stong point.

It was fragged from the Mother (formally Aquascene Echinata) about 5/07, and here is the earliest picture I have.

Between the combination of my poor photography skills, horrible lighting, and a PO4 problem that has plaqued me, it hasn't grown that much. In fact, my Tubs Real Deal Echinata has grown twice as fast. I recently switch lighting and have solved the P04 problem and already am seeing inprovements, so hopefully I can get more pics in the future.
