WHat is the trick for them to gain colour? I have one that is on the fence. It wants to turn nice neon grtee, but it doesn't. LOL!

I really don't know.. I've kept the AE Echino for a while and it has really taken off the past couple of months.. when I got it, it was only 1" x 1" but now it's about 3.5" x 2.5"

I'm sure the experts will chime in..

Nice echinos Nutz. I really like that red one and the last one as well. Man do those acans/micros look hungry in that first pic. Better feed those bad boys

Are echinos aggresive?

they can be... some of them have long sweepers and some hardly has any... just watch them when they feed or at night to find out how long their sweepers are and leave them room accordingly..

that's the main reason why I cannot keep too many..

Nice stuff there guys. I too have Larry's Watermelon Echino but it's much pinker in my tank. I still have to get a good shot of it.

Here is a neon green one from Larry

Blue/green

Red w/green streaks

It used to be like this before the tank crashed

Pink

Hot pink

Still waiting for this one to color back up
