flame tip nems

[mvm]

Did anyone purchase flame tip nems when some of the lfs had them available? How have they faired? Mine has lost most of it's color, but it's pretty low in the tank. Anyone else?

I believe every bubble tip to be a color morph of a green bubble tip, with some few exceptions like Jin's freakishly awesome RBTA.

I didn't get mine from Tim, but here is what I have noticed... Mine doesn't like strong water movement and when first placed in the tank it hid behind the rocks and lost most of it's color. After a while it came out and I started feeding it... a lot... and it regained it's color and looked great... then I adjusted the flow in my tank and ticked it off... it is currently hiding behind rocks again...

I trid moving it uo in the tank, I tried feeding plankton, silversides, it stays up curled up in a crack most of the time. It is very thin and white in the middle. At night it is the biggest, as soon as lights come on, it curls up, I hav redireted the flow, Jin what is your secret?
