Angry Acans - Can't Figure it Out

[allan]

Epic, I'd agree with you... Up to a point. I've had acans do very well, And then all of a sudden they shrivel and go into hermit mode.

If you've lost acans before you may have a problem with them. I'd stay clear of moving them about. More than anything they seem to appreciate being left alone to settle in.

I'd think you've got something in there that's picking at it.... Or it is like mine often do, they get all just-got-out-of-the-pool for a week or two.

Leave it alone and see if it pulls out.

They were doing excellent in this tank though. I do understand what you mean though.

This picture is from 8/14. They never had an issue before I added GFO/GAC.

That's the problem, I have been patient. It's been about 2 months now. Somethings gotta give. I think I'm going to pull my flame angel and see what happens.

I'm tagging along. I just got some rainbow/skittles at MACNA and they were under LEDs. I brought them
Home and put them under a 150w MH. They've been reclusive since. Just moved them to lower light.

we run carbon on christy's 29 that is packed with acans and they seem to be doing great.

no, just carbon pellets changed out every two weeks.
