|  Before and after
How is this for an before and after picture. This candy cane was given to
me about 9 months ago. I think its done rather well if I say myself!
The other side has evenmore heads than this one does   _________ I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.
Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Very nice...I have noticed that the more you frag caluestrias the faster they grow! Looks good! If they are growing quickly that means you are doing something right!  | |

They can grow pretty fast if they have the right conditions. I actually picked up a small green candy cane frag from the LFS about 2 months ago. It had only 2 heads and has already grown so much. I fragged one of the branches which now has 3 heads and the main has 5. It's slowed down a bit because I haven't been target feeding as often. Can't wait till they are huge and perfect for the display tank (if I ever get to the tank, haha). | |

The green one behind that one was fragged 5 months ago. It originally had 2 heads one of which was splitting when fragged. it now has 7 heads and the one on top is splitting again.
I target fed the big one for about 2 months then I was told I really didn't need to so i haven't been doing it. what I do use is Rods food every 2 days in all my tanks. | |
