Lets see your candy canes!

What to see everyone's candy canes plus the location of them in the tank. Also let me know what worked best for you to have them all puffed up looking good.

They are just catching leftovers, my fish can’t get to in time! No additional feedings!

How fast does yours grow?

How fast does yours grow?

Started with 10 heads and have around 30 now after 8 months. I do run high nitrates (20-25ppm).

Would you say that the nitrates are best for their food source? I bought 2 heads the other day so just finding out best practice for them

Mine are in a low flow, low light area in my tank and they are really happy.

The photo below was from Jan 2019 so they've really taken off! They don't get on too well with my Duncans though.

Hmm not saying the nitrates are key to growth... I have seen amazing growth with ULN systems. I guess the stability is more important than the values!

Just wanted to bring up the fact that they might like some nutrients.
